Faith hits the ground running after she infiltrates the estate of a rogue debutant Slayer. Following a snafu with some gargoyles, the heiress discovers that Faith is also a Slayer and quickly takes her under her wing-exquisite meals, fancy clothes, and a bubble bath later-the two begin plotting the end of the world. That is until Buffy pops in and is confronted by her longtime nemesis, Faith. Certainly, chaos ensues. A smash hit, Season Eight continues to enthrall readers with writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man; Pride of Baghdad; Lost), artist Georges Jeanty (The American Way) and Buffy creator and Executive Producer Joss Whedon all at the helm. Brian K. Vaughan (writer of Lost) takes on Faith in Season Eight. Top-ten seller Buffy #1 went immediately back to press-twice-to satisfy demand . . . totaling over 150,000 copies! Joss Whedon's Season Eight continues!
