After the initial shock of the Renee thing (and I admit, I almost cried), all I could think was "I'm a leaf on the wind..." Great issue, though. Drac's "Is somebody going to finish eating this?" made me groan in a good way.

Hmm i dont think thyat its a hint on Dawn-but that it coukld very well be another pop culture reference as was Giles's beatles t-shirt... Hmm from a far it looked like Nibbler

I'm liking the Tokyo vampires in this arc because they're not stupid. They have there plans HIGHLY planned out. I sorta wish that most of the vampires would be this brutal that way their strength, power, etc. isn't underestimated. After Renee's death, however, I don't think there will be any underestimations.

This was an excellent addition to WatG.I am waiting patiently for the last installment of this arc. Here are my thoughts:
Dawn:Loved her in this issue."Hi.or,I mean...ROAR?"was the best line IMO
Buffy/Satsu:Good scene,although a thought occured to me while reading it through.Satsu was the most forceful she has ever been to the Slayer leadership.While I can count it as her finding her place in the group,I think it could also be just her making sure she is a part of the attack squad.The ruse that the vampires used on the slayers,seems to me that they were expecting the slayers attack.I wasn't leaning toward Satsu as the traitor(I was leaning toward Renee,personally)but now,I'm not so sure anymore.
Xander/Renee:They had some very touching scenes.Good budding romance here(at least,until she got impaled).I hope that she pulls through somehow,but won't be dissapointed if she doesn't.Could give Xander some quality fight time(with help,Dracula defending his manservant,perhaps)
Ultimately,the series is finding it's stride pretty well.So,until issue 15...

Great issue, I think one of the best yet. I loved Xander and Renee's interaction, it's just too bad that she got scewered in the end poor Xander and poor Renee. I loved the scene in the forest, it felt like the good old days with the scoobies. I can't wait to read #15 to find out about Renee's fate.

OMG I just got my copy delivered today, I pre ordered it from Ebay. I cannot believe that Renee might be dead. That is soo slack, after her and Xander only moments ago shared their first kiss. I sincerely hope Willow can heal her, Xander deserves someone to love and be loved. It was a very good trap though, I didn't guess it at all. I love Dawn all 'Godzilla like', I found her '' Hi, or I mean roar?'' line so funny and cute. I have to agree with the poster who said that Andrew was barely recogniseable. I could hardly tell either. I realy really liked this issue. Can't wait for #15!!!!!!

Great issue, I was really shocked about Renee, I always liked her and I didn't expect her to die (for some reason, I thought Satsu was first on the "to be killed" list).
This issue also felt longer to me than the previous ones, somehow they managed to fill them with more content without adding pages, which is a great thing too.

At first I thought the Dawn "Roar" moment was the last page, then I yelled "Ahh, there's more!"

I have the feeling that soon there will be a rift starting between Xander and Buffy because every love interest he has had since Buffy came to Sunnydale either died because of something supernatural or they have been a demon. Poor Xander :-(

Xander would never blame Buffy for the deaths of any of his loved (or potential loved) ones. They were casualties of war, all of which joined up using their own free will. Buffy was never the reason that any of them died.

Damn i wanted Satsu to die first. :\ totally didn't see that coming although Xander actually finding some one and all and they not being part demon or evil should have guessed.
I liked this better then the first two issues for this arc. The Dawnzilla was just Roflao.

Ok, I just now noticed this coincidence: one of SMG's favorite countries was japan. Ok, random time over, back to serious discussion...
yeah, I thought Dawnzilla was funny. I hope she has a purpose in the fight against Toru. That would be hilarious. Although we may knew who willow will fight.

She's just so funky and all, I made my Halloween costume after her -note in my country we have a holiday similar to Halloween in February. besides that i do find her reactions quite honest and that makes me like her even more -i know she isnt that developed as a character but i want her to grow on her own . And am i the only person who wasn't that impressed by Dawnzila ?Yeahok she helped the gang's plan and everything , was kinda funny just not THAT much of a big deal.

I think her entrance was minimized by all the publicity about it

Nah not a Stasu fan she just doesn't do it for me. Renee all the way. Yer i think if Dawnzilla hadn't been like splashed around the front cover and all it would have made a bigger impact because you where not excepting it.

Well I was shocked about Renee's death when I saw it in someone's sig, but not so much by the time I got my comic Maybe that's why I'm not into this arc as much as the others. Either the NYTimes or a over enthusiastic fan spoils me for the major stuff, heh. Enjoyed it more then #13 though, unlike others I didn't have a problem with Buffy setting the vampire on fire... she's the slayer, hello. She can't just let him go and kill people. I agree it was darker then usual, but I thought it was a cool power shot. Which would have been more effective if I wasn't over read in the speculation online.
