Buffy : Season 8

1. faithswatcher: As far as you know:

"The prince" "The betrayal, the closest the most unexpected" And the identity of the Twilight.

Were these all fully known when they were first mentioned/created, or has the the way the story progressed subtlely (or not) changed the outcomes to these ’mysteries’? Has the prince become a different person, has the betrayer changed identities, has it even changed how they were to betray Buffy. etc.

Georges: Joss knew who Twilight was from the very beginning. The Betrayer had a little more thought put into it. I’m not sure who the ’prince’ is. Anything more would be telling...

2. AndrewCrossett: On the final page of #27 during Oz’s speech, there’s an inset panel that shows Faith, Andrew, and a red-headed girl. Is the red-headed girl Vi?

Georges: You would think Vi would be in there and Felicia Day, who I’m friendly with has asked if she’s popped up, but no. A lot of times from when I’ve draw a page and when it gets colored it will go through a lot of changes. Unless it’s a character that people should know the colorist will use her discretion, but there’s no reason why Vi and all the other girls shouldn’t be running around there somewhere.

3. AndrewCrossett: Another redhead question. Leah has made a lot of fans (including me) despite the fact she’s only had a few lines. Her appearance and poses and action scenes have really defined her. What was the origin and inspiration behind her?

Georges: Joss had her from the beginning along with Rowena and Satsu. These were the new girls we were going to get to know in season 8. I have taken a shine to Leah too maybe that’s why she’s popped up more often. And, big hair. Kinda hard to miss.

4. AndrewCrossett: The Howling Commandos tribute cover for #29 is your coolest cover yet. Who’s the girl in the helmet to the far left?

Georges: I really got into that cover! SO much so I even did the Logo by hand. It was a joke I was hoping we could play off at some point, and it just came together. I was really happy with the way it turned out. True, Buffy fans might not get the reference but comic fans will and that was a nice little nod I thought. The girl on the left is Rowena. Like I said, I haven’t been giving her a lot of attention.

5. bamph: The Twilight reveal,when it happens,is it played as a big moment or more nonchalant and matter of factually?

Georges: I think it will be that big reveal, but from there is when the story really takes off. It will set up the ending of Season 8 and give you an idea of Season 9. It’s going to be big, no question, but the story certainly won’t stop there.
