"Curiously, with each issue Buffy looks younger and younger. On the latest panel she has pigtails and she looks like a 16-years old girl. Will she reach kindergarten age by the end of the season?"
At this rate we'll be seeing a stake wielding fetus trying to dust vamps!

Seriously I thought the writing was better then previous issues, but the artwork is really starting to grate on me now. Faith looks like Buffys older uglier sister, and as you say Buffy herself looks far too young to be going out alone let alone 'fight the good fight'.

Thank god Giles at least looks his correct age. That front cover at was gorgeous, pity that inside was the usual disappointment though.
