We are two episodes into the journey over on Patreon, so if you'd like more you can use the links below to join us!This episode we are talking about "The Long Way Home" (Season 8, Issues 1-4) and "The Chain" (Season 8, Issue 5), and we've got a giant Dawn, intense Slayer hellmath, Kristin's opinions on what a Thricewise demon is (three Pennywises, of course), Jenny's yearning for the return of her butterscotch hunk, and so much more.It's f*cking good to be back in... Scotland?We also have a new #buffy-comics channel in the Discord, and you can also find Scooby-shared links to these first issues (Season 8 is near-impossible to find in print these days) that are downloadable to use on most comic-reader apps!JOIN US FOR SEASON 8 OF BUFFY >>> CLICK HERE <<<LOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNETJenny Owen Youngs | @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.comKristin Russo | @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.comBuffering: A Rewatch Adventure | @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramLearn more about our team at bufferingthevampireslayer.com/our-team MUSICTheme song and jingles composed and performed by Jenny Owen Youngs.PATREON patreon.com/bufferingcastMERCHbufferingthevampireslayer.com/shop+++Produced by: Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen YoungsEdited by: Kristin RussoLogo: Kristine Thune+++We acknowledge that we and our team are occupying unceded and stolen lands and territories.
