The second arc of our bestselling Season Eight starts here. Top creator Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man; Pride of Baghdad; Lost) takes over writing duties and dives headlong into what Faith is up to-infiltration, assassination, and nonstop Cleveland. The fugitive Slayer is given the assignment that could change her life . . . if Giles’s specialized training doesn’t make her want to end it first. Artist Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his game–and Joss Whedon stays on as Executive Producer–in this first part of “No Future for You.”

Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the smash-hit TV series.
