Joss Whedon s Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series continues in comic form with the revolutionary Season 8!

In a strange turn of events, Buffy begins to experience Twilight s reach through the growing mass popularity of vampires they even have a spokesperson with a reality TV show, Harmony Kendall! Rebel Slayer Faith continues on her journey to help other directionless Slayers, and Slayer Simone has also come back onto the Scoobies radar. Meanwhile, Dawn finally deals with her ongoing growing pains. Then, as more and more of the world seems to envision Slayers as public enemy number one, Buffy takes her troops to a refuge in the Tibetan mountains, where she hopes to receive some help from Oz.

About the Author:

Joss Whedon was born in New York City in 1964. He started out as a staff writer for the 1990s sitcom Roseanne and worked on films, including Toy Story. In 1992 he penned the script for a film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when the TV version starring Sarah Michelle Gellar took off in 1997, Whedon had his big break--with its female action heroine, Buffy, became a huge hit. Whedon wrote hundreds of episodes for Buffy and its spin-off Angel, and was nominated for Emmy and Hugo awards for his work. Whedon has come to enjoy a cult following. The author lives in Santa Monica, California.

Camilla d'Errico is a first-generation Canadian, born in Ottawa, Ontario. Her Italian parents immigrated to Canada before she was born. From a young age her early interests included Saturday morning cartoons, comics, manga, and doodling fantasy elements in her textbooks. Camilla d'Errico's career as a painter began in 2006, when she participated in shows at Vancouver's Ayden Gallery in Gastown. Since early 2007, d'Errico has been showing her work in galleries across the United States and Canada, in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Vancouver in what is known as the Lowbrow art movement. She is among the group of female artists, including Audrey Kawasaki and Amy Sol, who paint beautiful young girls in the pop surrealism category. With her work on Helmetgirls, d'Errico expanded upon the concept of headgear to include animals of all kinds, intertwining and juxtaposing her stylized, fantasy girls with lifelike animals. Her girls are unusually stunning, doe-eyed, and magnificently colorful female characters. The author lives in Vancouver, Canada.
