So now I've read Buffy season eight issues one and two. I'm not really a huge fan so far.)

Same here. Well, I haven't read two yet. I'm not a comic book person, but I'm a huge Buffy person, so I wanted to read it. I don't like how comic booky they made the story. What I liked about the show was that even though they were fighting demons and all this supernatural stuff was happening, it was happening in the backdrop of the real world. Normal stuff, like high school and parties where going on too. Now they are all flying around and Dawn is a giant, and it's just not the same.
