Here via the Herald, as well, and I have to agree with pretty much all of this. I'm basically liking the Season 8 comics, but that doesn't mean that I'm completely happy with everything. Joss continues his blatant favoritism of certain characters over others (he's all about the Buffy and the Willow, meanwhile he continues to show no personal interest in Xander or Dawn, only in what they represent or how what happens to them affects other characters). In S7, if you didn't particularly care about the Potentials or have any investment in Spike's redemption or in Spuffy, you were screwed.
I wonder how you would comment on the first half of Season Three? It seems to me that Anne through Amends seem to be about dealing with the consequences of much of what happens in Season Two (with, as you note, the exception of Xander's Lie.)
