Advance solicitation for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 8 #18:
A powerful enemy from Buffy’s past confronts the Slayer and Fray in the future, having allied with Fray’s greatest foe. Meanwhile, Dawn’s gone through another bizarre change.
Wow. We didn’t know Chris Claremont was going to write an arc for Buffy! That’s …
Um … Chris Claremont didn’t write the story? It’s by Joss Whedon??
Well … um … we knew Whedon liked classic X-Men but to even touch the upon the icky Claremont meme of dystopic futures and bizarre transformations is … um …
*Blech.*
Wonder what Michelle Trachtenberg would think if she saw this cover …
I thought the same thing when I read the first few issues of Astonishing…
This illustration… I hate it.
she would think, “DAMN, I LOOK HAWT!”
I thought this was a great issue, transformations and dystopic issues and all!
Not only Chris Clearmont, but Jack L. Chalker as well. His books had a lot of characters being turned into centaurs.
I wonder if Joss is doing stuff like turning Dawn into a giantess or centaur because he couldn’t do it on the TV show.
