IDW can only use Buffy/Faith/Willow right? because where on ANGEL, is this true?

It is my understanding that IDW can only use characters that were regular "Angel" characters. I assume the use of Willow would require a special "OK" from Joss or Dark Horse. I could be wrong though, they could have the ability to use any character that appeared on "Angel".

I'm pretty sure it's Harmony. I mean, she had a one-shot in Buffy, she was an Angel character, and she's relevant to Spike.

Ha, I didn't think of her. But most of all she was an 'Angel' character so they have the right to use her.

I guess it´s going to be Dawn.
- She hasn´t appeared on Angel, neither the tv series nor the comic book series. - She had her own One-Shot "Living Doll" - She and Spike have a connection, so that it would make sense her coming over to the series.

^ I like the sound of that actually. I was a little disappointed that Dawn didn't appear on Angel like she was supposed to, so to see her in this would be nice

The only way I would enjoy having Harmony in the series would be if she showed up, said "Hey, we're both famous! Isn't it cool that vampires are in?" thus making the Buffyverse and Angelverse "join".
That, or that she's simply staked. I'm so tired of her.

I would love to see Harmony as the guest character- she'd be so funny

She’s not only my favorite Scoobie, her appearance could make a sense and a connection with Buffy S8. As I said before she knows about Spike, about his resurrection and about his fight against Twilight. Maybe she is his hidden ally. I loved her words “It’s gonna be good” when she saw Spike’s flying machine.

I'm curious as to how Bryan would write Willow or Dawn, but i know there would be tons of laugh out loud moments with Harmony

I'm pretty sure it's Harmony. I mean, she had a one-shot in Buffy, she was an Angel character, and she's relevant to Spike. Harmony's appeared in IDW Angel comics though. Spike vs. Dracula, and a few others. I'm 99% sure it's Willow. "Harmonic Divergence" and "Living Doll" weren't really one-shots, they were still part of the ongoing series. "Goddesses and Monsters" was a proper one-shot because it wasn't part of the S8 numbering.

"Goddesses and Monsters" was a proper one-shot because it wasn't part of the S8 numbering. I was thinking the same thing, but I also think we have to take the clues with a grain of salt. IDW seems to separate the old run of the Angel comics with the new one. For example, they advertised "Last Angel in Hell" as the the first "Angel" annual ever. Anyone remember "Masks"? That was also an "Annual" but they all seemed to discount it. I think decifering the clues depends on what they define as appearing in the Angel comic, and also what they define as a one-shot.

I'm pretty sure it will be Willow. IDW may have gotten permission to use her as a way of smoothing things over for the Twangel thing.
I don't know if Willow will (or can) refer explicitly to the events of season 8 or not. I almost hope she doesn't, because of the canon wars that would ignite if she did. Also, if season 8 is acknowledged in IDW continuity, that would put pressure on Willingham's series to conform to it. I don't think that would make him happy.

I really don't care about the Willingham's happiness and his crappy series! They are absolutely out of cannon for me! Not only Spike is totality OOC, but also Illyria, even Angel! Btw - Brian Lynch didn't know that Willingam is going to use Spike in his series so I think he wasn't happy to find out about! And I'm happy to see Angel and Illyria on outgoing Spike's series! Finlay we will see them better written! After ATF the IDW Angel series (excluding Boys and Their toys) are going downhill! And I'd love to see a connection between Spike's series and Buffy S 8

Assuming it's willow used the events of Season 8 will be hard to refer to since the Spike series is supposed to take place on or around the main Angel title.
I remember Brian saying awhile back that the main Angel Characters would pop in and out and this is pretty solid with the new picture but I have to wonder that since Both Titles are coming from IDW that I think IDW would be pretty miffed if Brian tip toed around the main title so most likely it will get referred to. That being said if the main title is connected to this and they use WIllow or Harmony as they're being used in Season 8 that would officially canonize it all. That'd totally rock.

Hopefully, but not necessarily. Depends on how it's done and what Darkhorse and IDW says (and most of all, what Joss says or does not say). Willow or Harmony could be used briefly, without causing any waves, or in any way refering to season 8 (which IDW and Darkhorse might both prefer).

At Best we'll have Canon across the board. At Worst we'll have a bunch of un or semi connected stories that range from good to bad.

I really hope they refer to season 8 and try to make the stories fit in some way, because in my eyes that would at least semi-canonise it
