^ never read it, but that would make for some interesting story in the one-shot.

I don't know how many of you have the read the Buffy novel "Seven Crows" but in that Sam was pregnant. Do those things count as canon? . . . Nope. As for the bewbage question, it doesn't bother me. Some pictures I've seen of Ivana Milicevic make her look quite busty, while in others she looks smaller. I guess Sam is just wearing a really good bra in these covers. I think we should have Tape Measure Man in the comics. He's the Cheese Man's twin brother. Whenever a female character appears in the comic for the first time, he'll lean into the frame with his tape measure and say something like "34B" and flash a thumbs-up. "These will not objectify you."

I think the real issue here is how men are objectified in comics. I mean, in "No Future for You", we see Xander's naked torso and all of sudden, he's really muscular and fit. Where is fat Xander from the television show? Where are his disgusting moobs and double chin? I don't want to read a comic about attractive people!
Georges Jeanty has turned Xander from a relatable character into nothing more than an object of sexual desire. He is a despicable misanthrope and I will not be purchasing anymore comics containing his pornographic "art".

On that note, perhaps you'll be happy to note that Jeanty isn't drawing this issue.

I think Paul was being sarcastic, and perhaps a tad bit facetious there.

I think Chen needs to take a remedial course. She's like a English major in college who's forgotten how to do Algebra. Bad marks, Chen. Wow Emmie, ouch... *burn* ;D Oh my God, that made me crack up. xD

I think Paul was being sarcastic, and perhaps a tad bit facetious there. Yes, Paul was being extremely sarcastic and facetious there. I greatly admire both Chen and Jeanty as artists, and am a bit sick of the outrage whenever a character is drawn with large boobs. Honestly, Google "Frank Cho" and get some perspective people. i never saw xander as fat or disgusting. i mean, i know he's a little husky when they take his shirt off. but still, hasn't he been desirable in some way or another? granted, trimming him down in comics just to make him more sexy is not right. but who's to say he couldnt have gotten into shape since the down-time between seasons? he is afterall a watcher & military type guy. he could have been doing drills w/ the slayers, and perhaps sparring w/ renae to bring him back into shape. and i'm anxious to see moline's art work again. Xander was pretty fat in season seven. Nicholas Brendon made fun of himself for that in one of the commentaries (something about him lactating). I always remember "First Date" as the most explicit example of his moobage. Check out his knockers in this screencap: www.screencap-paradise.com/caps/displayimage.php?pid=617540&fullsize=1Both Nicholas Brendon and David Boreanaz put on a lot of weight over the course of their shows. They look better nowadays than they did in the latter years of Buffy and Angel. They were always attractive, but it was a smart move to trim them down in the comics, especially Angel. I actually appreciate them acknowledging Xander's weight loss in the story (it's mentioned repeatedly throughout S8). I like to think that after mourning Anya and being Dracula's slave, he got his life back on track by finding purpose as a Watcher and getting back in shape.

Jane takes Riley with CBR HERE. Includes preview pages.

No dialog in the preview pages, but I assume that's Sam with him. I'll be interested and concerned to see how she fell out of the picture along the way.
A missile silo? That's foreboding.

Wow, Jane's has got that whole "answer questions without actually answering questions" thing down pretty good.
I hope Sam doesn't die this issue. I don't like her, but I think it would be a pretty weak storytelling device to have her death as Riley's catalyst for siding against Twilight.
I also hope to see Riley doing something that actually helped Buffy or hindered Twilight in some way, because right now he has been the worst double agent ever.

I swear all he did was stand there, then again that's Riley for you . . .

He did try to hinder the finding of the Slayers when they zipped over to Tibet.

Seeing Riley working around missiles makes me wonder if he might have been the one who sabotaged Warren and Amy's missile in ToYL.

Was it sabotaged though? It still did what it was supposed to do; i.e. spew green flamey demons. It also managed to pierce whatever defenses the castle had. The low mortality rate could probably be attributed to effective evacuation the moment the missile pinged on the screen.
