I wish the comics would just go away. They make my flist unhappy, and while in the past they've been good for stirring new discussion and interest in the fandom, I'd say we're now well past the point of negative returns.
My reaction to the Big Important Character Death? Oh, thank goodness it wasn't Spike. Because that would have caused significantly more hue and cry than we're already getting. (Also I'm glad it wasn't Dawn, because however little I care about the comics, I'm apparently still capable of being upset by threats to my girl.)
ETA: spoilers in comments.
