Ok i really dont think its fair how Spike stole the spotlight from all the supporting cast in both Buffy and Angel during their final seasons! I dont like that he has come back because I think Buffy and Angel make good friends and they have a lot to explore with their complciated friendship. Just a little sidenote, kind of random: but does this arc have any conenction the the after the fall series with Angel, or are they just tossing in Angel and Spike for the hell of it? I'm absolutely HAPPY of Spike's comeback on Buffy comics! I really MISS Spike! I was waiting for that Spike/Buffy reunion for years!!! Thank to Joss that's finally happened! And I think Spike fits to Buffy's story more than Angel. I love Angel but he's good in his tittle not in Buffy's... Anyway we'll see both of them around Buffy and I would enjoy it! I'm not a fan of the B/A relationship but these 3 characters are my favorite! And the Buffy's arc has a connection with Angel/Spike ATF and especially with outgoing Spike's series. The events in Brian Lynch's Spike's series are an year before the events of Buffy Season 8. As you see Spike and Buffy are connected! ;D p.s. Willow will make an appearance on Spike's outgoing series, so she knew about him and his strange ship. I can't wait to know how Spike is gained his ship and what the hell is his ship - a time machine maybe? Or something else

With the alternative cover of this issue, it could possible they may go all the way back to season 1. Maybe even interrupt Buffy and Angel's first meeting. Well, that is if time travel is indeed the answer to this. And if that really is the case then damn, what is with time travel these days to fix things? After the Fall, possibly this season and also MK MK? Mortal Kombat. The latest game is going back through time to fix things if I remember correctly. Well, that's true, but I was using ATF as an example

But we still don't know if going back in time (if that is the case) will fix anything....

I would lose total faith in this series if Season Eight ends with a complete retcon. Or if Season Eight "never happened" and we're back to pre-Chosen.

HH, while I hated the "redo" aspect of that one other series, it worked because one 1) there really wasn't any other way to get out of that situation w/o definitively ending the series and 2) the redo happened 16 issues in, not 36.

And 3) it wasn't a 100% redo, making everything that happened relevant to the characters. That's the thing that made me love it, not just like it. But I don't think it works here for Buffy. I'm not predicting redo at all.

"After the Fall" wasn't a redo at all. Everything happened to them, and they are all changed emotionally. That, in the Buffyverse especially, is what matters.

I never once stated that After the Fall never happened. "Redo" means that time reversed itself and they had the chance to do everything differently, which they did. Angel saved Gunn, Illyria went all kamehameha on the demon army, the dragon switched sides sooner, etc. Redo implies that they know what happened.
What I DID say is that it worked for Angel.

"while I hated the "redo" aspect of that one other series"
All I said was that "redo" is a misnomer, that everything still happened.

If Spike and Angel are going to carry on to season 9 I don't think a redo is possible- otherwiose Angel would not be Twilight and Spike wouldn't have come to help so they'd both be back in L.A.

FYI, for those who haven't read #36 yet, the Jo Chen cover for #37 has been majorly cropped and edited to hide a HUGE spoiler. The full cover is revealed in the lettercol of #36. If you wanna know, click on the spoiler tags. Otherwise, stay away at all costs: The Master is looming behind Buffy

The cover is even more awesome now. It may be my favorite Chen cover yet.

Aw, I loved it with Buffy by herself. (Now I hope her face is telling of what's to come for her after reading #36). But yeah, it's still just as awesome with the surprise.

I was about to mention the whole cover thing Yeah it does look more exciting of a cover with the master in it, cuz its the last arc, and this isn't the time for non=exciting covers..

Can anyone post the spoiler cover??

One: Keep spoilers in spoiler tags UNTIL the issue comes out. Then tags can be dropped. Two: The cover in the lettercol is very small. ETA: The full cover has been released. Check it out HERE.

^^ The Master looks... Lame? Idk, he looks too cartoonish, IMO. This cover reminds me of those pictures where someone really sticks out... In this case, it's The Master. xD

Thanks. I already linked to it above. And I have the same cover, but for some reason, I can't post the Photobucket link... it won't display correctly. I'm waiting a bit before trying it again.
