Wow, I actually know some of those!
2: Goddess. Ennis & Winslade. Probably issue #6. 8: Lazarus Churchyard. Ellis and D'Israli. 15 I assume it's an Ennis issue of Hellblazer, only because the last panel looks dimly familiar. 19: Scars, Ellis and Jacen Burrows. Last issue again.

From online news services...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is writing a new six-issue Buffy mini-series for Dark Horse Comics. The first volume is due out in October. A Dark Horse spokesperson has confirmed to ICv2 that the new series chronicles events that happened to Buffy and her friends after the conclusion of their televised adventures and will function as a "Season 8" to the highly popular cult hit TV series that ran for seven seasons...

I'm VERY much looking forward to this, but six issues won't cover a whole "Season 8".
ETA: Unless he winds up writing a book like Matt Wagner would write, and crams every page full of many panels, and much very small text.

I'll bet $10 that Spike appears on the cover of at least three of the issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That would be especially execrable, given he was with Angel for the next year.

One possible way to do it, is that Joss intends for the LS to be the season-opener for the season, setting up the situation and characters, along with the Big Bad.
Other LS written by other handselected writers will continue the season as in the normal manner of a TV season, allowing him to return to write the equivalent of sweeps episode/LS and/or season finale/LS

That would be awesome, Bil. I hope that's kind of how it plays out, because without Matt Wagner/Dave Sim volumes of text within the comic, six issues isn't really enough to introduce a Big Bad, let alone have various antics trying to kill it or avoid being killed by it, research things in libraries and magic shops, and eventually kill it.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for that scenario, though, as comics often overlook the value of a god build-up and just want to get to the meat.

Oh, I didn't interpret "after season 7" to mean "immediately after." Unless the comic is going to show Xander in Africa, and Buffy dating the Immortal in Italy, and Willow in... Peru? Wherever the hell she was.
I guess, why waste energy on continuity when you can just have a character say, "Gosh, can you believe it's been a whole year since Sunnydale was destroyed?" and move on.
