Buffy Season 8 Library Edition Hardcover Volume 1 out this week.
It collects issues 1 to 10 and looks huge (click here for a look).
Note that the Dark Horse site says it's out next week but it's out in comic book stores at the moment. The likes of Amazon.com should be shipping it within the next two weeks.

but id also recommend you pick up these other "canon" graphic novels at some point, Fray: Future Slayer and Buffy: Tales (Tales of various vampires and slayers through out history). These are great companions to Seasons 8 and 9.
If your interested in Angel too, id say pick up the After the Fall collection, Spike: After the Fall (Canonincal continuations of the Angel TV series taking place before the events of Buffy Season 8 and 9) and Spike the 8 issue mini series. (Ties the IDW series into Darkhorse's Buffy series).
There are more Angel IDW coninuation comics that you can read, but the Spike and After the Fall comics are the only Officially Canon comics in the IDW series.
Any way hope that helped alittle bit, and didnt just make you more confused. :S

But Buffy Season 8 and the Angel After the Fall arc are great places to start!

And yeah, although I have the trades, if I see this at Barnes and Noble, I might just have to buy this....

Request to Dark Horse: Can we get an oversized HC version of Fray?

anyone know if the books between the end of after the fall and the spike series would be classed as canon too? (for example aftermath, immortality for dummies and illyria: haunted)

I don't have Always darkest in front of me, but doesn't Buffy appear in the same clothes and setting as the betrayal-panels from Anywhere But Here? I think Caleb even makes a comment about that, when dream-Buffy is lying down.
The Vampy cat thing was probably just a choice of the artist, meant as a meaningless reference, but it could mean Buffy's dream had a propechy element in it, showing her a part of the future.

thanks for that think i might as well get angel v5 n 6 (volume 5 aftermath cant remember what volume 6 called) and the end which collects the rest of angel then the 2 spike volumes (link into byffy s8) not sure about the illyria volume(s?) though
whats other peoples views on this?
whedonfandavid | May 29, 11:07 CET
I think it would be the best reading order, since some people might forget, or lose interest in that panel when they get to vol 3.
Could also be they wanted to spread the one shots out? Aren't there two Harmony ones, and Willow's and Riley's? Unless they also include The Thrill.
@whedonfanvid
The Spike series is now collected in one volume and will be released late in July http://www.amazon.com/Spike-Complete-Series-Brian-Lynch/dp/1613772858/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338662083&sr=8-1
I hate that, why couldn't we get that right away, instead of two volumes?
I'm unsure of the Illyria comics are available in HCs. Maybe just as TPBs. I checked amazon for Illyria hardcovers but found none. E-mail and see if they're planning to release one.
Skytteflickan88 | June 02, 10:37 CET
thanks for that info
i think i knew that illyria was just tpb even though it seems odd when rest are hc's and tpbs but thanks 4 info about spike sounds cool
don't get why they dont have plans 4 more premiere editions for their continued series but ah well
