Alyrenee, I can see Buffy with Xander, with Angel, with Spike, alone, and with someone new, too. As far as Xander, I don't see why people can't see it couldn't happen. People grow up and change and mature, Xander isn't the same Xander he was at age 16. In real life, how many nerds in high school turn out to be wise and successful and even good looking and those girls that made fun of them then could kick themselves years later that they didn't give them a chance?
Something I didn't get in #2 was Andrew with the no guns thing, when in #1 they were using guns. Did I miss something or just not get it?

It's only human nature. He's the only man around other than Giles. But thinking about it, I bet a million bucks that the dream was nothing more than a shock value added for us. And that Xander was just Buffy's manifestation of a "normal human" man. Good points, Phil! Xander is the only non-father figure man around, so it's normal that she'd have some sexual thoughts about him. And Joss loves to throw us those red herrings! He hates for people to be able to guess what will happen. This could mean anything. Only time will tell.

Hey, everyone, I was just wondering... What would you guys think if Joss asked Jo Chen to draw a standalone issue during season 8, in the same style in which she has done the covers. I would so love this as her likenesses are spot on and it would bring us even more, back into the show!!! A while issue with that kind of art would be phenomenal. Does Jo Chen charge more? I mean, the art is so much more detailed. It might not be realistic for a whole issue. I don't know anything about the two tiers of artistics in the comic world. However, it used to bug the heck out of me that the Xena pictures on the cover of the comics were so different than how Xena looked inside the comic.

Okay maybe a couple of pages in that art just so we get more of a feel as we can see an almost perfect representation of the characters.

In real life, how many nerds in high school turn out to be wise and successful and even good looking and those girls that made fun of them then could kick themselves years later that they didn't give them a chance? Yes, you're right, in real life that does happen. But there is a big difference with Buffy, she wasn't mean, dismissive of Xander. She just wasn't interested in him. And Xander reminded me too much of a horny teenager, suffice to say i was very glad that he finally matured. But i still can't believe that Buffy would see him any other way. Also, we aren't talking about love here, in both issues it's made clear that it is sex that Buffy misses. And i still don't think that Xander(or any other human) would be able to satisfy Buffy the slayer sexually. Of course nobody can predict what Joss will write, so he could have them end up together, that doesn't mean that i would have to like it(or believe it).

Yep, it takes a lot more time, that's why her covers look so amazing. Do we have any idea yet what issue5 is about? They are being very secretive about it. I guess it could be almost about anything.

I don't think those were guns in issue #1...if you go back and look...they are some sort of grappling hook device. The slayers use them to scale the castle walls and then drop in to attack. I made that same mistake and then went back to check...

How could the dream guy be Spike? it was a NIGHTMARE (not where Buffy becomes a vamp, that's NIGHTMARES).
I loved Willow's entrance!
Andrew... is that brown hair!?
Ok, Xander's head pops off... WTFREAK?! I thought that before the whol dream thing.
As for noone attacking Amy, and her staying put... After she couldn't stab buffy she knew there had to be some major voodoo going around that place, and the slayers were on Xander's, Mr. I'm Not A Watcher's, order.

I think after issue 3, I am going to not read issue four until it is closer to five coming out...That is, assuming issue 3 is the last part of The Long Way Home...

Okay, I LOVED part 2! Yay, This is what I loved about buffy! The action and sarcasm. How funny was Xander!! I knew I was going to love it (part 2) the second he made that joke about Sergent Fury. That dream sequence was hilarious. I was thinking, What Xander and Buffy???!! Then his head popped off!! Xander really took the lead on everything! I laughed really hard at Xander's comment about those zombies. "Bringing out all the classics tonite, Huh Amy" (it was something like that) and about that kiss of true love to break the spell. "Seriously?" Aww, and it was great to see Willow at the end! I can't wait to see Willow and Amy fight!

Another thing is that two of the other slayers were talking about how Buffy suddenly has an interest in comic books, James Bond movies, and drywalling. So there could definitely be some interest on Buffy's side. The comments the one slayer made to the African American slayer named Renee out on the ramparts were talking about Renee's interest in Xander. The other slayer said to Renee, "I'm not even bringing up volunteering us for the frickin' graveyard shift, cause that's --" Apparently in addition to Renee's sudden interest in comic books, James Bond movies and drywalling, Renee had also volunteered herself and her friend for the graveyard shift to impress Xander. Remember how Xander was working with Renee in the operations room in the last issue? It looks like Joss is developing an interest there, at least on Renee's part. oh I get it now...I thought the same as jess in that the slayer was talking about buffy developing a sudden interest not Renee. I cant decide whether renne is dead though. We did see her get stabbed and on the opposite page with Xander standing in the main-operations room there was a screen in the bakc with renees face on it eyes closed looking kinda dead...I hope she isnt!

The thing that has been bugging me is the fact that Xander was talking with Buffy about his conversation with Dawn, during Buffy's dream sequence. Seems somewhat far-fechted.

Xander likely had the conversation with Buffy about it, and then she dreamt about it. Yes, but it seemed out of place, it was probably just meant to make you think it was 'real'.

Great issue! But I can't believe we have to wait another month for the next one. Someone should really start keeping count how many times that's been said 'round here! To be honest maybe I've been in the comic game so long that it really snuck up on me and I was like "Oh, Buffy #2 hits today, sweet!" Almost no anticipation for me, well except for that moment every issue when I run out of pages!!! I know, I know. But I open up an issue, tell myself "I'm not going to say ANYTHING about having to wait a month for the next issue," and then I get to the last page, see that there are no more pages after it and whine, "I can't believe we have to wait another month for another issue!"

Oh god! What are we going to do when we have to wait 2 months?! Or if, probably when, there are delays?! A week was long enough.
And a question about this issue, which I don't get. Why is Buffy living a nightmare? What does it mean? Buffy sleeps with protection, so the knife didn't do anything, but why is she still sleeping? I don't get it.

Amy says she's cursed he, that probably went trought the protection.
