Scott said in the Buffyfest interview that Jeanty's cover was an homage to a John Byrne Superman cover where Supes and Wonder Woman kiss (think Emmie posted it already) and that it shouldn't be taken as a literal depiction of what will occur in the issue.

How long till we know if this some dumb-ass foiler?? i need to know because: 1) having my chain yanked makes me pissed indeed and 2) if it's Angel then i stop. right. there. Unless dates are changed, we'll know for sure that Angel is Twilight when #33 hits on March 3.

Now that we know Angel is Twilight, the most obvious reason to explain what he is doing is that he wants to avoid the events that are shown in After the Fall. We know that Angel is destined to pretty much end the world, so I can understand why he would want to end magic (most Apocalypses are rooted in magic, so why not cut them off at the source). Killing a few Slayers and becoming a mortal enemy with your soul mate is really a small price to pay when trying to prevent the world from ending. I guess I'm just saying all this because I don't think people can really justifiably say Angel as Twilight doesn't make any sense. The sense is there, we just have to see how it all plays out.
I am really worried about what this will ultimately do to Angel's character though. He's dabbled in "ends justify the means" before, with varying effects. Now that Wesley is dead, Angel is the character I am invested in the most. So please, Joss, make it all work out.

Well, know that we know who Twilight is, there's some karma to award! I've also made a list of everyone that participated and sorted them into 4 categories: - Angel #1 (those that put Angel in the #1 spot on their lists) - Angel #2 (those that put Angel in the #2 spot on their lists) - Angel #3 (those that put Angel in the #3 spot on their lists) - Angelus/Future Angel/Unclear (those that did not specifically state "Angel" on their list or wrote Angel(us), which counted as two guesses technically and couldn't be award the full karma) - No Angel (everyone else that didn't have Angel on their list) So without further ado, here are your winners!

One immediate concern fans may have over the news that Angel and Twilight are one and the same is exactly what that means for the character's own canonical comic book series, which just recently wrapped its "After The Fall" continuation of his spinoff TV series for IDW Publishing. While IDW continue to tell stories with the character under the pen of writer Bill Willingham, Allie promised that Whedon had plans to reconcile both versions to make a cohesive Buffyverse. "I talked to Chris [Ryall] at IDW last night, and I'm going to talk to him today to reassure him that it all connects and it's all going to jibe. That's one thing we wanted to reassure him of and to make clear. This isn't going to be some big conflict with the IDW continuity. It's all going to be made to work."
That was very surprising and also very cool to read. I'd been expecting Angel to be revealed as Twilight for a while now, and I'd always be thinking about this in the back of my mind: how would this work with IDW. Very cool that they are in contact and it will be interesting to see how this reveal effects both series and Angel as a character. Angel being a villain again raises some very serious concerns about the character, and this is something that could potentially screw a character up. I have faith though and am only excited about what lays ahead.

Twilight's identity has been CONFIRMED by Scott Allie, so this thread has been locked. If you don't want to know who Twilight is then I suggest staying away from this thread, the Twilight speculation thread and the Issue #34 thread. I'm going to award everyone their karma soon and post a list of everyone that guessed correctly or had Angel on their list.

Kinda weird, but Ryall changed the preview image to another one in the post on his blog (check the link I posted earlier). Whatever the reason...second preview page!

Interesting but im not going to read to much into these covers. But i do keep reading on here on why Buffy would be kissing Angel and how evil Twilight is and whatnot. But really whAt had Twilight done. All i have seen him do is stand around. He fought Buffy but he wasnt really there to fight but to talk. To me at this point Twilight doesnt even seem like the big bad. We dont know him enough to be sure of anything, we dont know that hes actually even giving the orders, could be just as harmless as Riley. Infact Twilight could be the mole. Angel would go majorly undercover to protect Buffy. Just a thought, they better pull something good outta their hats thoe cause so far (for me) this season is a stinker Well we know Twilight is definitely a killer. He destroyed Buffy's Scotland base and killed a large number of her Slayers. That's pretty bad...

Here is a preview page that Ryall posted on his BLOG: Byrne's art, as usual, doesn't disappoint. It's great to see Cordy again too.

I might actually get Jeanty's cover this time. I haven't done that since TFAW would send me his occasionally back when I subscribed with them. Think my last Jeanty cover was #16.
I like Jo's cover, but those brown borders are ugly. Plus I love Jeanty's concept.
Also, were the titles on the Chen borders redesigned? Was the font like that with #30?

I have a feeling this is an April Fool's joke. I can't imagine Dark Horse would drop the ball like this after 4 years of build up, could they?
Either way, if Angel is or isn't Twilight, it will be interesting to see what happens. Angel as Twilight makes sense given the events of After the Fall (and he has been my #1 suspect for a bit now), but I just can't wrap my head around DH screwing the pooch.
Jo's cover rocks though. Jeanty's though...good lord.
Also, for some reason "bizzare twist" suddenly makes me think Twilight is multiple people.

Both covers for #27 would work really well. Mooney's would especially look great, with the bold red. Although that could clash with the spine-back cover design that IDW usually uses, unless they make the design more red-ish. They went with a more blue-ish design for the Vol. 4 HC, as opposed to the brown-ish design from Vol. 1-3, so anything is possible.

According to IDW's January newsletter, Angel #29 is out next week, January 13th! Same day as Buffy I believe.

Still no news about when this is coming out, only that it won't be before April since we haven't seen a solicitation yet.
I have a feeling Runge's cover for #23 will be used, but I'm always for new covers.

I own or have owned:
Super Nintendo Nintendo 64 *Nintendo Gameboy (Original, Color, Advance SP) *Sega Dreamcast *Nintendo Gamecube *Sony PlayStation 2 Nintendo DS Nintendo Wii Sony PlayStation 3
*Don't own these systems anymore
As for my favorite console, it has to be the PS3. There have just been so many great games for it in the past 2 years (exclusives and multi-platform), that'd I'd be silly not to pick it.
I still love to play the SNES and N64 though, there are just so many great games for them.
