Ok, Joss is pretty much my hero, and he seems like a really briliant guy so I hope that he not only thought of this way before I did, but intends to clear it up in future comics, but currently I have noticed a major continuity hole in season 8 that is really irritating me.
It is this: How the hell is Warren alive? Ok yeah, I know that he gives a little explanation about Willow not actually destroying him and Amy somehow whisking him away before he actually died. That explanation was lame enough as far as Im concerned, but if Joss says that's what happened Im tentativly willing to follow along.
Except it makes no sense. If he was never dead how did The First make so many appearances as him in Season 7? That was pivital to the plot of that season!
Did anyone else get kinda enraged by this?
Just me?

I believe the fanwank is that Warren had died and been revived at some earlier time in his life. See Prophecy Girl for a canonical example.

As well as the issue with the First there's also the problem with D'Hoffryn (and his associate "Lloyd") being so impressed by the way Willow dealt with Warren.
Why did the Lord of all Vengeance Demons seem to think Warren was dead too? I doubt he would have been impressed if she'd botched the job especially given that Amy was nowhere near as powerful as Willow.

It's an annoying mistake, but not really surprising. There's a lot of positives to continuing the story in comic form, but one of the negatives is that there's just the one writer working on it as opposed to a staff of 6 or 7. One person might forget a detail like that ("How could the First have appeared as Warren if he never died?"), but working in a group, there's a much better chance one of the others will catch it before it's too late.
Brace yourselves--this may not be the last time something like this happens in these comics...

Yeah Groo, I know what you mean. I guess it just gets to me because its Joss himself. Random scores of writers are one thing, but I like to believe Joss has a total handle on his Buffy Universe, because if he doesn't who will?
I will.
But I don't get to write the stories.

Did the FIRST only take form of dead people? If so how come it takes the form of BUFFY - is that because she did die?

hmmm well I'm re-watching season seven now, so I'll make great effort to fathom the mythos surrounding the 'First'.
