That's the thing - I do see this comic as an obvious entry point for new readers, but for the most part, I don't think it's taken good advantage of that opportunity. The things that work about Season 8 are mostly things that worked already about Dark Horse's old Buffy comic before JW signed up to write it. Aside from the celebrity appeal, I'm not seeing a particular attempt to show new comics readers what comics can do. Which is sort of sad.
But I do have a comics rec to pass on! The comic version of Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies is hilarious, and even drawn by Cliff Richards, who used to do the Buffy comic back in the old days. It's slay-tastic, and funny - like Buffy speaking Austen.
