From afar, the Buffy cover is quite beautiful, but on closer inspection, it looks stagnant and it really bugs me that her face seems to be Photoshopped onto the rest of the piece.
Barring art gripes, I'm super excited for the start of Season 9.

Cool cover! I am excited for September! Buffy's back!

The Buffy cover? I kind of hate it. Kind of a lot actually. Like Wenxina said, the face looks like it was tacked on after...and just the cover itself is...let's just say not my cup of tea.

I also love the Angel&Faith cover. I again love the sense of motion particularly on Faith's legs. The color is so pleasing to my eyes. I also really dig Angel's hand in the foreground. Nice shape and detail.

I find that surprising; I thought the first cover would be more in line with the close of Season 8's "Let's get to work" panel. This is more Daliesque -- is that a word? As a stand alone, I find it striking.

@NumfarPTB - thanks for the link. Interestingly, there's still only a half of Chen's cover.

The solicitation doesn't say much that we didn't already know but 'Freefall' is new and, I assume, the name of the first arc. Very exciting!
I like Chambliss' depiction of Angel in the A&F cover and the demon looks great. I'm glad this is the second solicitation now that is acknowledging that what Angel did in S8 was really bad (unforgivable, even) just to drill home the point. I'm curious to see how Angel plans to earn back his redemption but I'm a little scared for the character right now. He's on a razor's edge at the moment!

I'm not sure if Georges will be continuing on variants. It's possible that Chen's covers are a one time deal thing and perhaps for filling-in. I assumed that both the main interior artists (Jeanty and Isaacs) will be providing the regular variant covers.

Also loving it that Willow's issues are mentioned right in the blurb. And I wonder what Angel's "ultimate plan" will be?

Oops! I actually did know that but just typed the wrong name, but thanks for letting me know just in case :)
There's so many new names to remember now that I'm still wrapping my head around it!

I definitely like the Jo Chen cover best for Buffy ... no surprise there! It has an epic feel to it. Like that her Buffy looks a bit older in this one (definitely twenty-something--as opposed to the Jeanty cover, where she looks about 15). And I like that Buffy is alone, but looks confident and ready to slay. Plus the whole thing is just gorgeous.
I don't hate the surreal one--I actually kind of like it, though I agree that her face is a bit of a weird stylistic contrast with everything else. But, for me at least, the Chen cover is irresistible. :-)
I like both of the Angel and Faith ones a lot. Both artists capture Angel's appearance well, and Faith's fashion sense is spot-on as well (which is important to me, since Whedon characters' clothes usually say a *lot* about them).
