Buffy : Season 8

Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s eight season is unfolding at iTunes.com. You’ll find the first episode there now. New episodes will be available every week from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

A continuation of Joss Whedon’s hallowed shows and based on the award-winning comic book series by Dark Horse Comics, the gripping saga of the vampire-killing legend picks up where the television series ended: thousands of slayers around the world have been activated, Sunnydale has been blown up and Buffy has relocated to Scotland.

The iTunes episodes are available for $.99/$1.99 HD each, or with a season pass for $14.99/$29.99 HD.

All 19 episodes will make their official debut on DVD January 4, 2011 which will include limited edition Jo Chen packaging and a collectible reprint of Dark Horse Comic’s first book in the series.

Comic-Con attendees visiting the Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment booth (#4313) today will witness the debut of the exclusive trailer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.

The Dark Horse booth (#2615) will also screen the trailer along with hosting a signing with creator Joss Whedon.
