We both need stickers "Buffy forever!" :) Hopefully, there always will be fanfics.
This issue felt slow to me, of course, and some of it did feel out of character for Buffy and Willow, BUT, I was happy to see a return of Anywhere But Here, and a reaffirmation of the Buffy/Willow friendship.
There is a detail that made me squirm: when Buffy and Willow see the robbery, Buffy easily lies to her friend telling that it's impossible. And, several seconds later she starts justifying her actions. I don't know. Maybe SMG could play it subtly, showing confusion, disarray and embarrassment at the same time. But the panel can't convey the range of emotions we see on an actor's face. And the only thing I see is Buffy lying to her best friend.
And I don't buy Willow ever not choosing to fight by Buffy's side. Not as canon.
I think I can accept it as a premise, as a base for Willow's inner conflict - especially when she has already arrived and saved the day in the standoff with Amy. :)
But I'll accept a little less than my usual show standards when it comes to the comics. I allow them to get away with more, because it's up to you what you wanna take as canon.
Well, Joss has already said that if he makes a Buffy movie he'll discard season 8 if it will сome into conflict with the movie plot.
I really, REALLY loved the first five issues. A LOT.
I like The Long Way Home but #5 The Chain is my fave so far.
