Covers: (Click for larger) SPIKE #5 (of 8) Brian Lynch (w) Stephen Mooney (a) Nick Runge (c) When the going gets tough, the tough call in a witch. FEATURING... WILLOW! FC 32 pages $3.99Chris Ryall posted some new stuff on his blog, including hi-res covers for this issue. Check it out HERE. Nick Runge's cover was previously revealed by Buffyfest HERE, but the Jenny Frison cover has never been revealed before. And yes, for spoiler-phobes, a very special guest star shares cover time with Spike on both covers, so don't see red if you can't help clicking the shiny link. You've been warned.

*showers love for the Jenny Frison cover* Wow, that looks so gorgeous. Wonder what the glow is about? If Lynch is sticking with 'Spike has no soul', then perhaps Willow is giving it back to him. Also, the alternate looks really nice. Spike and Willow gettin' hitched by Elvis Also, what are those other covers on the Buffyfest site? Are they future covers for the Angel series? I already like the Illyria one, with flowers in her hair

The other covers at the Buffyfest link are future covers for both the ANGEL and SPIKE books. I'm not very up to date on what's going on with Spike, but I think it's either been mentioned in a current issue, or will be in a future one, that Spike does have his soul, but it's been infected by some kinda soul parasite/virus thing. Something that supposedly happened when he was all incorporeal after his "studly" death by immolation.
But Frison's cover definitely references the scene where Spike gets his soul back.

I so hope Brian goes there. Besides, Spike thought about Willow *that* way.

AAAH! GORGEOUS!!! You know, guys, I’m a huge Spike/Buffy fan, I even didn’t imagine about a possible relationship between Spike and Willow… But the cover is freakin’ HOT! I think Willow is doing something with Spike’s soul – maybe she is fixing it, or healing it… I wonder if that soul-healing ritual includes some air sex?! And Jenny Frison cover reminds me to Jo Chen’s cover Willow one shot.

I wouldn't say no to some Spike/Willow air sex I've been somewhat a very minor Spillow fan, but seeing those covers have somewhat boosted it slightly. And you're right, the covers are both similar. Also, how long is Willow hanging around for? Just the one issue or a couple more?

And I think Buffy was pissed at Spike in Buffy issue 36 because Spike did not said it in person and did not called her…

OMG, Jenny Frison's cover is beautiful! I made it my wallpaper! Willow looks both gorgeous and bad-ass, very true to her character.

Both covers are amazing! The Jenny Frison one is my favorite out of the two, but I think Nick Runge's captures both characters' likenesses fantastically. The Jenny one = Wow. The pose it great. I love it. Love it. Love it. Willow looks like she's returning Spike a soul. Hmm. Maybe he is soulless, or he will be? This John guy, I think he was called, might steal Spike's soul. Very awesome. Cannot wait for this issue. Maybe Willow should open up a business for finding lost souls; She'd make a pretty penny.

That's easily the best Runge work I've ever seen, his work has improved immensely. Jenny's cover, however, is just gorgeous and a real rival to some of Jo Chen's work. Good to see both artists stepping their game up for Willow.

First post updated with solicitation and cover thumbnail. Looks like Urru won't be drawing Willow after all.

Hmmm... boo to that. The only artist in the IDW stable that I'd like to see draw Willow was Urru.

Urru must be having a hard time keeping up with this series. Kind of makes me sad that it won't be 1 consistent artist the whole series. I think I would have rather waited an extra month, no offense to Mooney...
