Um...

Since nobody else on lj seems to be talking about it, I guess I'll bring it up:

Does anybody have some thoughts on the newly revealed Buffy comic covers*?

I am...slightly perturbed. And then angry at myself for caring. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT, DAMNIT! My face? Looked like Bob's in my moodtheme. Just like that. And in case you were wondering, it's not the possible revelation of the identity of Twilight that bothers me. It's the thing I refer to in my tags.... Although even though I'm not reading the comics, that would be a stupid, stupid revelation. Stupid.

Emmie? Hon? Wanna explain this one for me?

I always check the comic covers. They are soooooo pretty even though I don’t care for the way the story has gone.

Heehee, I read the word “Twilight”, gave the cover a glance, and for a moment I thought they’d snuck in Robert Pattinson as a gag.

I'm still not really sure what I'm seeing...
It looks like some sappy shoujo anime, not the Buffy and Angel I know at all *blinks*

So Angel is Twilight is the Big Bad? I knew it was someone close to her because HER FACE in that other cover but...ANGEL?

Huh.

I think it'll turn out to have been some kind of red herring.

Dude, how awesome would it have been if the cover was Buffy staking Edward? *dies*

It does like very similar to that.

By the way: did you get my email with my thoughts about your fic? Just wanting to make sure! [ETA] Haha! Just kidding! I just got your email!

It always crazy amuses me that the Big Bad's name is TWILIGHT *giggly*

Maybe it's like that whole cracky Buffy-in-a-nurse-outfit panel?

Also, I just noticed that Xander and Dawn are in a heart on the Jeanty cover. Awkward pairing is awkward 0_o

It's EPIC is what it is!

And yeah, I'm thinking it's like that, and that panel always cracks me up.l

Really? I think Xander and Dawn would work a thousand times better than Xander and Buffy. Plus, during my recent rewatch of S7, I saw that they were laying the ground work for Xander/Dawn even then. Personally, I think Dawn deserves better (and I aim to give her that!), but I don't think it's out of left field.

Just blame my weird feelings on me watching the The Adventures of Pete and Pete (Michelle was so gangly and small and cute!) at the same time they aired Buffy season 3 ;)

Plus, during my recent rewatch of S7, I saw that they were laying the ground work for Xander/Dawn even then.
Oh, I agree, it'd be more equal than Xander/Buffy

Are you talking about the Potential episode endingor are there other moments I didn't consider?

(Now I wonder if they'd already written Anya's death, if they were indeed writing scenes with Xander/Dawn in mind! )

Michelle is pretty much adorable. And it's not her fault that the writing for Dawn was so HORRIFICALLY AWFUL during her first season.

I don't know--there were just a lot of moments between Xander and Dawn (yeah, the "Potential" one in particular) that just seemed to be putting them on more equal footing.

(Now I wonder if they'd already written Anya's death, if they were indeed writing scenes with Xander/Dawn in mind! )
We'll probably never know!
