Ya Runge's covers are always great. I think the covers were drawn and released before the big changes happened (Willingham leaving the title and the license going back to DH), so the covers would have represented what was going on in the issues, but the plot was sped-up and changed. The solicitations didn't reflect what happened in the issues either because of that. I just went over to the thread for issue 37 and read the solicitations and looked at the covers again. Seems like it would have been more of the Spike-champion-propechy stuff. Makes me so sad that DH is taking over. The stories DH have planned could be brilliant, but I would still be asking myself what could have been. Specially for Spike. Remember a writer/editor saying (in a blogpost maybe) that they had big plans for Spike? As a Spike fan, I can't say I'm super-thrilled. I wonder how many issues they had planned for, and what. I hope they tell us some day. Maybe in the extras for a HC? A girl can dream. Just the over all plot would be nice, no need for details. And then there's the Spike ongoing by Lynch that could have gone on for years and years... Seriously, not glad with Joss/DH now. True but at least they feel he's important enough to give him his own book. Idk where I read it on the board I remember them saying Buffy and Angel got ongoings with WIllow and Spike each getting there own mini series for season 9.

Yeah, I recall them planning a mini series for Spike. I think they'll give him more than that, since he's popular. But Lyyyyyyyyynch.
Of course, the possibility of Xander/Spike or Spike/Giles interaction is wonderful. After I got my Spillow(Spike+Willow) covers I now dream of sexy Spander(Spike+Xander) covers by Jo Chen.
A shipper can dream.

A shipper can dream. I wouldnt mind seeing some Spike and Xander especially after the Devil you know where Spike actually mentions Xander's ability to hold his own against supernatural forces. but the best would be some more Spike Andrew geekage. Andrew would fit in perfectly with Spikes rag tag group of misfits.

You're a Spander shipper? Who knew?
I just finished watching "Him," where Spike and Xander go out together to save Buffy from killing Wood (under the influence of a love spell, remember). It seems almost believable there.
