Buffy Season Eight comic number one (comments are spoilery)

I like Buffy. That's not a surprise.
I like Buffy. That sort of is.

I took the comic home and played the theme song before I read it. I knew I was a dork before, but my gosh.

My esteemed colleague mmaresca covered most of it, but here are some additional things I liked.

Dawn refuses to share intimate details with Buffy and is holding out for Willow, which in and of itself is not the part I liked. I liked her specific reaction to that:

Ooh! I just know Dawn had sex with that Kenny and won't say anything to me -- fine, her first time and it all goes wrong, which I'm totally well-versed in and anyhow Willow's the expert on boys since when now?

That line really sold the entire comic for me, and I'm not sure why.

There's a Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD joke that Xander makes that kind of grated a little, but since there was an on-screen Nick Fury joke, I'm not sure I can complain.

I'm not sure all the gadgets and support staff are entirely due to Xander. I'm not quite sure how to say this, but I think the Initiative made an impression on Buffy that she filed away for future use.

Amy's in it.

I'm not sure if I can say anything about the clothes. They seem similar to what I've seen other, civillian people skydive in, during he part where she's skydiving. :)
