Loving the Spike cover. And I think the spoof of the New Moon poster is hilarious! Because everybody knows Buffy does it better. Can't wait for this issue!

originally, i thought it would be cool if the first tied into this season, but i think the universe compelling buffy & angel to act is much greater than the first. and now with all that we know and only 5 issues left of storytelling, i don't think there is enough room to insert the first, as well as resolve the conflict(s) at hand.

The Twilight cover is perhaps the best comic cover I have ever come across in my life. I couldn't have done it better myself. Well done to whoever's idea it was (I'm thinking Joss but I'm not sure and don't want to make assumptions). There is no precise word to describe how happy was when I found out Spike was coming back. I will have to settle for VERY!

Ok, I get what your saying. But I mean they revealed Twilight as Angel like months before with covers. And usually they will give you 2 issue covers coming up in the next 3 months or whatever. But instead we got #37. I love that cover too, I'm just puzzled as to why there is this skip all of a sudden Usually the two covers come out with the solicitation, 3 months before the issue goes on sale. The #37 cover is not from a solicitation... it was released early by Dark Horse as a "teaser" for some reason. They probably chose that cover because it will get people talking. The #36 cover was probably too much of a spoiler for the ending of #35. you were dead on with the spoiler ending for #35

I really can't wait until September now. I can't believe we have to wait so long, but I guess I'll try to hold in my excitement. I thought Spike wasn't going to show up until season 9, but now that I know he's back I'm constantly on the edge of my seat...It's getting irritating every time I sit down. lol

i don't understand why people are complaining about the hommage/mock of the tiwlight thing!!! i dont like the movies(terrible actors doing a terrible characters, exept the jacob guy-his hot and not limited), and i thing the frist 2 books were really waste of time, but the 3 and half of the 4 books were damn cool... so, why hate the cover? i don't get it. the spider-man/x-man hommage were cool, but the twilight not? sorry, but as far as i dont get it why(the twilight is such a hype),i have to admit that its on the top of the pop culture now... so the hommage cover make a lot of sense, ever more cause the relation between than(vampire, love story etc etc etc) so why don't we focus on the seriously thing here.... what the Hell will mean spike in mix now??? everybody's together now... and looks like it gonna be epic.... all the triangle(or square, if we add andrew-spike in the mix, or a pentagon, if we put satsu too), all the hate, the fight... i think joss have everything in his hand to make a perfect ending to this unstable, but very good in theory season....

It's probably because alot of people are sick of the triangle. And if we're to be accurate, its more like a hexagon, because of Xander, or maybe even a heptagon because of Dawn. I think my point to all this is that I hate math.

Homages are made to things that are respected and deserve respect. Comics of old paved the way for Buffy to one day continue after its television life expired; Twilight is the little bastard child of the vampire romance genre which seems to taint Buffy just being mentioned in the same breath.
The Twilight homage cover fails because it will generally only resonate to fans of both properties. Non-Twilight fans will be disgusted to see their show borrowing its imagery, and non-Buffy fans will have a laugh at Buffy's lack of originality and willingness to leech off of Twilight's popularity.

I really hope Spike's arrival isn't just for the triangle. And I really wish Spike would interact with characters other than Buffy and Angel. I want a scene between him and Xander, one between him and Dawn, and it would be awesome to have Spike and Satsu connecting over their unrequited love for Buffy.

Speaking of character interactions, I dearly want a confrontation between Angel and Xander on the subject of Renee.

I don't know, I think it's more of a spoof than a homage. The pop culture relevance of Twlight is undeniable, and I bet there has been more than one person who thinks that Buffy's use of the name "Twilight" is a direct reference to the popular series. I see the cover as a way for Team Buffy to have some fun.

If it is just the triangle crap I'm gonna get as angry as those people who didn't like #34! There's to much other stuff going on right now thats more important. Speaking of character interactions, I dearly want a confrontation between Angel and Xander on the subject of Renee. Doubtful, seeing as apparently Renee ceased to be even worth mentioning two issues after she died. But it would be good for a Angel/Xander talk, cause out of the Scoobies him and Dawn are the only ones who are still making sense. And we might find out if Toru was a follower of Twilight. Xander has been the one person this entire season who hasn't had a meltdown or gone crazy. He is the one character who has pretty much had his shit together throughout S8. Kinda makes me worried for the guy, cause you know what's coming...

Unless Twilight is clearly implicated in the Jap vamps scheme, Renee's death is strict off Angel's hands.

He might not have been, since it would seem de-powering all the Slayers then would have effectively short-circuited Twilight's agenda. If I were Xander and was now being asked to work and fight next to Twangel, I'd certainly want to know the answer.
