Cover of Buffy Season 8 Issue 2: [link]
Description contains many spoilers. If you don't want to know, know this - the cover looks the business.

Jon B's link better.
I'm confused. Is issue one out already? If not, is it common practice that they'd have the cover for two ready ahead of time?
Issue #1 comes out in March, and yeah, that's close enough for them to have the second cover done. Most comic distributers are beginning their solicitations for about then.
The cover of issue two is going to do nothing to stop me from thinking of Peter Petrelli on Heroes as Not!Xander. *
I emailed my local comic shop, because they aren't on Dark Horse's list of shops, to make sure they are going to be carrying the series. I'd rather shop local-indy when I can. They will carry it. I ended up reserving two copies (one to read, one to pat and call my precious). They will e-mail me when it arrives.
Is this my first official "pull"?
How far are you from Million Year Picnic in Harvard Square, Cindy?
It's probably only 10 or 15 miles, Tom, but it's a painful 10 or 15 miles. We have an indy shop, right in town, less than a mile away. The closest listed dealers (per Dark Horse) were all Newbury Comics shops. If my local didn't carry Buffy, I'd probably go to one of them. My principles for such things are flexible.
I love the name, though. Million Year Picnic.
