snick_backupAnd we continue to pilfer old Buffyverse lore in our attempt to give our comic any kind of resonance or significance whatsoever. This time... Fray? Really? On the one hand, it's kind of neat, because Fray was much cooler, more cohesive, and more inventive than anything we've seen in Season 8. OTOH, well, Fray was much cooler, more cohesive, and... I'd rather we'd left it as an intriguing and coherent standalone, well out of this S8 mess.
However, I would like to know more of the story behind future!Willow - her untold history sounded far more interesting than anything we actually saw.
Is it just me, or is comic!Kennedy much prettier than actress!Kennedy? And she's not even all that annoying.
Anatomically speaking, Dawn makes a totally inadequate centaur. She looks like her torso could snap off at the spine at any moment.
Riley's the guy working with Twilight? (Or am I supposed to gather that he is Twilight?) Riley? My deep thinky analysis of this development: Whatever. It's stupid. (Also, if your idea of a big character reveal is to simply show a frame of the character, it'd help if I could recognize the character. I had to squint for a bit, and even then it would have taken longer if I hadn't remembered hearing that he'd shown up in the comics.)
Here is evidence that there is something wrong with this comic series: Xander is the best part. (Other than Faith/Giles, of which there is not enough.) He looks rather like himself, he sounds exactly like himself, and despite Buffy's occasional attempts he's the only character who's actually funny.
General conclusion: the longer this goes on, the farther it strays from anything I could ever accept as canon. Faith&Giles? Totally canon. The rest of this is rubbish.
