Ordinary People is the eighth issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eleven comic book series. Joss Whedon is the executive producer.
Synopsis[]
Out in the real world without their magic, Buffy and Willow are facing challenges in a new way. As normal girls, getting back into the Safe Zone to release the residents feels impossible — but they aren’t alone. The Scoobies are reunited and have some special backup![1]
Continuity[]
- Buffy confronts a M.M.A. fighter much bigger than her, similarly to her octagon fight in In Pieces on the Ground, Part One.
- Faith and the Scoobies are reunited after their last encounter in New Rules, Part Two.
- Faith mentions the Deepscan mission to save Riley and Sam, from "Lost and Found".
- Buffy hands the scythe temporarily to Faith, as she'd done in "End of Days", "Chosen", and Last Gleaming, Part Four.
- Buffy and Willow spend the entirety of this issue without their magic powers. This is a situation parallel to Buffy during her Cruciamentum ("Helpless"), and both giving their magic to the earth ("Retreat").
