You know, when I first heard of these comics I thought "Lots of focus on Buffy and Slayer.Jr, and Dawn will be there 'cause she's the sister, Willow and Faith will have major parts, and Joss' favorite Andrew will certainly be involved. I'd be happy to see a glimpse of Xander, because of Joss' lame and bullshit 'there are no more stories for Xander' excuse, and Giles will probably have a very small part."
I never thought Xander will have a good role. I guess that's one of the biggest reasons I'm attached to these comics. Since mid S3, Xander rarely had a good role other than supportive big brother, and now he's treated as an equal. I'm with you on the drawing, don't like it, and I wish this is shown on TV. To say the truth, I'm enjoying the Buffy, Xander, Leah, Satsu, Rowena and Renee parts. I hated everything that's Willow, and I love Willow, but I didn't like all the retcons surrounding her character.
The only bit about Willow I liked is that she's been away for a year, no one knows where she were, I loved Xander's angry "Where were you all that time?" also Buffy's curious if annoyed "Where have you been?" And it fits with the end of Chosen (relationship between Buffy and Willow) When Chosen ended, Buffy only seemed close to Dawn and Xander, and I've always pictured those three going like the beginning of S7, and when rumors about #1 having only Buffy, Xander and Dawn from the Scoobies, I was happy because my theory was true. Buffy didn't seem close with Willow and Giles anymore, it sucks and I want to see that mend, that's why I hated that Joss started the season a year and a half after Chosen. I want to see events develop gradually, because comments like "Willow is like a mom to me" can be fixed with a flashback and it'll be acceptable.
My point is, I'm enjoying the comics for the Buffy, Xander, Slayer.jr and Giles parts... and I really wish Dawn gets normal-sized. And I really hate that we have to wait a month for the new issue (the next one sounds interesting, and I gotta wait two months to read it) The slow base annoys me.

Sorry for the long rambling *blush*
