I'm shocked, disappointed, and angry. I can't believe the writers did that. I'm glad that I read the spoiler, I'm NOT buying this comic. I'm not even sure if I even going to continue reading the series. it's changed so much since the first 4 four seasons.... they don't even seem like the same characters, the only ones who are the same are Xander and Faith. I'm just so disappointed You can't really expect them to continue fighting evil and still making it to first bell English, do you? I personally thought that this issue has been the best when it comes to closing the gap between the show and the comic. I might not agree with some aspects, but it's not going to stop me from liking it or buying it. All I can say to that is get over it.

BISEXUALITY people, look it up. Looking it up won't change the fact that Buffy is an established straight woman. But carry on amping up supposed homophobia because people don't like characters acting out of character. I enjoy it. Okay. Let's nip this kind of talk in the bud- RIGHT NOW.

Joss doesn't have to cater to people's insecurities. If you have a problem with bisexuality and people experimenting and being open minded, then that says a lot more about you than it does about anything else. Joss knows what he's doing, and in my opinion the characters are completely true to themselves. you can think whatever you want because I know you wont change your mind about anything. I know who I'm am and I ain't got a problems or insecurities yet, and my opinions don't change that easily either.

I don't want to bring Willow into this, but I wonder what her reaction will be. It showed a mere glimpse...
But...
I wonder how she'll react and how she'll talk to the Buffster about it.

I hate to call it just a comic book, because I love Buffy to death. But c'mon....it's fictional people.

I'm also looking forward to this. Everyone who saw Buffy and Satsu together were making jokes, yelling, or shocked, but Willow was the only one who flat out asks, "Why are you in naked in bed with Satsu" in a regular voice. And also the "nothing seems to make sense tonight" comment. Very excited for next issue, and hopefully they'll finally go to Tokyo! And I also just noticed that Buffy was wearing Eeyore pajamas, how cute!

Yup. Exactly. It's a story and Joss is telling it. If you don't want to enjoy story-time with us then you can get up and leave the library. I agree. I don't want to insult or offend anybody. But to stop liking something just because of something that happened in ONE issue...that's kinda dumb. Sure we'll stray from the fact that this is obviously going to appear in more than one issue...XD

Well that means you don't understand the idea of bisexuality. See, not every bisexual person likes guys and girls the same amount, or even the same way. There's a scale. Buffy may just be bisexual enough to enjoy Satsu. Like 10% on the scale. And by the way, just because someone "establishes" herself as straight doesn't mean they are. A lot of people don't really understand what bi means...*sigh* Most people AREN'T 100% heterosexual or 100% homosexual. Most people fall somewhere in between. Buffy is one of those people. Spare me the condescending I don't understand bisexuality speach brother. This bud has been nipped so lets do as normal and agree to disagree.

Pure genious. I think Goddard is a keeper.

And I also just noticed that Buffy was wearing Eeyore pajamas, how cute! Oh my god I know!! I saw that. SOOOO cute!!! I love Buffy and her sad pajamas. Eeyore really suits her, they have a lot in common at the moment. ^_^ I'm loving all these little things in the series so far. Buffy wearing a Hong Kong Phooy shirt in issue 2, Xander's swim team shirt, Buffy's UC Sunnydale sweatshit, Eeyore and my personal favorite, Mr. Gordo!

I thought it was cool that the one slayer was reading 'Fray' in issue two! But so far, my favorite part was where Xander yelled 'Merciful Zeus' when he found Buffatsu together. LOL!!

I feel so bad for Willow. She MUST be at least a little heartbroken. I'm sure that at some point, she had a thing for Buffy. Or even if she didn't...the fact that Buffy kept this part of herself secret from her...and decided to experiment with Satsu, probably felt like a knife in her back. Only pushing Willow further away. And that is my concern. But I'm biased. I can't help but think Joss is going to lose a lot of people on this.

WOW. All i can say is WOW. I stay away from spoilers as much as possible..and aside from Cover Art, i don't want to know what is going on with my next issue...
I never saw this coming.. but I like it. Obviously buffy isnt gay, but when you look at the enormous stress she is under, coupled with your Many many failed relathionships, who wouldnt want to find comfort in the arms of someone that loved you? Even if it isnt something that can *BE* ; It helps you threw the moment. I think that is what this was. Buffy found solace in someone for a night, and it happened to be a girl. Not a big deal.

I'm just so disappointed I understand completely. I wish I had read the spoiler before I read the issue, I would have stayed away too. Oh well, too late now.

WOW! I don't often post, but when I see people getting all riled up like this I just have to join in. We all love Buffy and everything right? Well as much as we love it, let's try to remember that this is fiction and it is there for us to enjoy. It is supposed to be fun and play on our emotions and be interesting. It is also supposed to get us talking about issues. One thing I know BTVS is not about is ignorance and hate. The show always told us to keep an open mind and this shouldn't be any different. If some people want to never read the comic again or swear off Buffy because of this "is Buffy gay?" issue then they are totally missing the point and probably shouldn't read it anymore.

I dont think it will be that big a deal. Joss has made it clear that almost all of his characters are open minded. Given the chance, i'm pretty sure that Xander would have sex with a guy.

I'm just so disappointed You must be kidding. You're angry that the characters are the same exact people they were four seasons ago? Ummm... character development. I can't see how you're not even going to give the issue a chance to understand the situation in its true context. It's really, really close-minded.
