"Buffy Season 8" Comic Book - Issue 6 - Aintitcool.com Reminder

Faith The Vampire Slayer Makes Her ’Season 8’ Debut Today!!

Just a reminder that issue six of Joss Whedon’s “Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season Eight” hits the comic-book stores today.

The new issue is scripted by “Lost” writer and comic-book vet Brian K. Vaughn ("Y: The Last Man"). It begins a new story arc focusing on Faith the Vampire Slayer and re-introduces at least one character we got to know from the series’ UPN years.

MTV.com has a story on the matter, a story which notes that Vaughn was originally approached by Whedon to script a “Faith The Vampire Slayer” direct-to-DVD movie that fell apart due to money issues; Vaughn is now incorporating his ideas for that project into the funnybook.
