I thought Giles too... in fact, it really does look like Giles' silhouette. But there is another male character that wears glasses... one that Georges hasn't drawn yet (at least in nothing published so far). Harth. Only problem with that is... well, at least going by the reactions of the Scoobies on the cover... well, only Buffy may have actually seen Harth, and thus, only she may actually react in shock and horror. Willow and Xander would probably shrug and wonder who the heck the guy was. Hmm... Giles... he does go gray very often (for a white hat, that is). Maybe Harth went back in time and was part of all of their lives at some stage (like Jacob from LOST)

He also sort of looks like Richard Wilkins. That's what I first got from it. Then I thought, GILES, and was like Oh no ... not spike. So IDK. I think the hair looks that colour due to the background, the lighting and all that. I would SO laugh if Twilight didn't have a face.

So this guy is glowing like Cordelia or simply spreading light from his a$$

Still tracking the story over at CBR. They were supposed to try and get an update from Allie this morning, but so far, I've seen no change. If anyone happens to see any latest developments (post-Obama "reveal"), please post here so that I can update the original post if required. And yes... I'm positive that the Obama thing is a hoax.

I'm pretty sure there is no (real) version of the cover with Twilight's face un-blurred. It wouldn't make sense to spoil the big reveal right on the cover.

I have a feeling that at the reveal, we'll recognize him okay, but have no freaking clue how it came to be about.
I'm wondering how they are going to flesh out Twilight's origin story AND do the finale drive in 10 issues compared to how much information we've received over 30 issues.

Well since the story arc is named "Twilight" I expect we'll get quite a bit of information dump about him in these issues. The arc will probably end in a cliffhanger similar to "Retreat" to propel us into the finale issues.

Pretty sure that the blurred version is the final version, hence it being a homage to the original Spider-Man one. However... if there's anything to add, like the rationale for the gag, etc, it may be something to put up on the original post, since it would be informative for people who are a little more oblivious. There are some out there (I'll pretty much guarantee this statement) that believe that Joss has truly lost it, and that the current US President will actually be Twilight. ETA: HERE's the follow-up story, hot off the presses. It seems that we're right; there will be no "unblurred" version of the cover. Which makes a heck of a lot more sense, than to simply just throw away over 30 issues worth of mystery building on the cover. The variant cover, no less, which many people won't buy anyway. EDIT2: Speaking of covers... curious to see what Jo's cover looks like. I'm positive this is the cover that Jeanty was referring to when he said that both he and Jo had turned in covers with Twilight as the subject.

This issue Indicate that it might be ,Giles You can see glasses. The question is, would we like it to be Giles?

The question is, would we like it to be Giles? That's not my question. My question, if it turns out to be Giles (either from an alternate dimension or the future) would be why. How I feel is secondary to the rationale. Unless the rationale is bogus.

So... Twilight isn't Obama, but "he is a President."
Hmm. I assume this probably refers to something we haven't been told yet. I don't know of anyone in the Buffyverse who was a "president" of anything.
President of the "We Hate Cordelia Club" maybe? I don't think we were ever told who held that office...
I guess Giles is technically the head of the Watchers Council now, but was the title of President ever mentioned re: that position?

Dawn is a President: BUFFY I just had a bad day.
DAWN Well, join the club.
BUFFY Can I be president?
DAWN I'm president. You could be the janitor. - Out of My Mind And Xander is the Treasurer of the "We Hate Cordelia" Club.

Look who the characters are though, The main four are Buffy Willow Xander and Giles, so maybe were seeing the four original scoobs on this cover. But it seems too easy, and theres no way they would make it easy theyre probably trying to throw us off and do generic male hair
could also be a ponytail

But i think why would you wear glasses wearing a mask. So i think it a trick to the mind, so when we find out the Truth about identity behind the mask we are going to be ,"gob smacked"!. I Can not wait lol... The suspense is killing me . Love it.

Where is all the Cordelia love? I think anything but the real Giles (or the real anybody) would be such a copout… he would need to have a real motive for this.

Relevant to Thorn, sure. But how is it relevant to S8, or more specifically, to Twilight? *puzzled*
