I am actually thinking/hoping that Twilight is Giles. I don't have any concrete evidence but I really think that would be the biggest shock and Giles turning evil would be absolutely horrifying. But on the other hand I don't want Twilight to be Giles because I love Giles and that would be sad. But from a storytelling perspective Giles is the most shocking way to go. And Joss likes to be shocking. Yes? No? Maybe it is a future Giles? Maybe somewhere down the line magic harms him in some way and he comes back to change it. To make everything better?

I'm with Emmie. I'm ready for the reveal so that all the speculation can be done and over with. I mean, just look at how many candidates have been suggested:
Xander Future Xander Giles Future Giles Faith's Dad Buffy's Dad Angel Spike Ethan Warren Andrew The Immortal Harth Riley
I mean, we might as well add Dracula, Parker, Scott, Willy the Bartender, and any other guy who might've safely made it out of Sunnydale alive. Eventually, the list will get so long (if it isn't already) that it will absolutely have to be one of the people on the list. But with a list of 100 names, we might as well be back where we started.

I noticed that the vampires in Season 8 have a different font type for their talk bubbles than anyone else, they have the same font as Twilight. I just really think that it's Spike. He is the closest and most unexpected because she would never expect a dead man.

Ah, but don't forget, Caleb is (or at least, was) a popular, theory, too, based on Twilight's "I know that move, Slayer" remark, and the fact that Caleb was shown in a flashback earlier in that same issue, perhaps as a way or reminding the audience about him and how he was killed (also, there was his line about "Isn't that just like a girl", or something to that effect), so who says we have to limit ourselves to those that made it out of Sunnydale alive? Pretty sure I've also heard people mention Jonathan, and even Tara. Icarus's name has been tossed out there, too, despite him being squashed so flat by a flying car that, if he'd been human and hadn't dusted instantly, you probably would've needed a blotter to pick up the body. I'm not really getting antsy to find out who Twilight is, but I am getting bored with the speculation... especially because I can't seem to keep myself from being dragged into it, because every theory has some holes in it, so anytime someone says, "Oh, yeah, that totally fits! It's gotta be him!", I find myself having to chime in with, "Yeah, but..."

I did forget to include Caleb in my list, and realized as much after I posted it. Honestly, I just re-read A Beautiful Sunset today, and Twilight's dialogue really mirrors Caleb's in more than one place, so if you base your guess off THAT alone, its possible. I was surprised to see just how much his dialogue falls in line with Caleb's, not only with the "I've seen that move" and "Isn't that just like a girl", but also with the line "She always believes herself to be on the side of right." Just sounds like Caleb. Of course, going from dialogue alone we could take the "I just hate to see you cry" line as it being Riley (if its more sincerely delivered) or Caleb or someone else that is evil (if its more sarcastic).

If only we could tell what accent Twilight speaks with then we would know. Of course I just read it as an American accent anyways. Dang comics. Of course there couldn't be this much mystery in the tv show because we may have recognized his voice. Not that people can't change their accents or voices, I mean I'm sure Twilight is capable of that.

It CANT be Spike, right?
I mean, I know Joss can use him, but I don't think he would use him as a big bad. Especially since he's owned by IDW now.

Also, going off of what you said. Caleb also saw Buffy crying when he attacked her at Sunnydale High School, so that is also another similarity they share in the dialogue of #11. Pretty interesting stuff.

The font of Twilight's speech bubbles is different from the usual, and I've read before that it's a comic convention for distorting voices. So, even if it was a TV show, you probably would not be able to pick up the voice. The accent... maybe. Heck, maybe Twilight fakes a Hungarian accent.

I say that Twilight is The Cheese Guy from Restless(I just wanted to throw another name out there to add to the list)
I honestly have no idea who Twilight is.I do have a long,drawn out theory that it could be The First in human form(perhaps as Caleb) The First was able to enter this reality due to an imbalance in the slayer line.Now that line is gone(all slayers called) Perhaps Twilight's real agenda isn't to end magic,but to start a war between humanity and the slayers

Well, Scott Allie confirmed that the Immortal was never intended to be used in S8, so no go for Team Immortal for Twilight. Oh, and the reference... just look up the "Q&A for Scott Allie" thread.

Narcissistic much? There were many naysayers other than you too. But... moving on, that's one potential candidate officially shot down. Dum dum dum...

Well we know that The Immortal is not Twilight. I asked Scott Allie in the Q & A thread and he said that Twilight is not featured is season 8 neither is the decoy slayer from Rome who was "supposedly" dating him. Oh well I would have really like an issue with that decoy slayer. A fan over in another topic said that they'd like to see another Tale Of the Slayers mini series but with the important season 8 slayers, which I thought was a fantastic idea, so the decoys could be easily added into that....I can onlyhope.

I got the most flack for saying it though. ^_~ No, you got the most flack for the way you said it. Entirely different issue altogether, but bygones. Chalk one up for your team, anyway.

Has anyone considered that Twilight is Buffy's son. She is often referred to as "The Queen" and if "The Prince" Robin was talking about is Twilight. It makes sense.

Okay, so on the list that's floating around, I think we can eliminate
Spike, Giles, and Ethan
Because wouldn't Buffy have noted an accent there?
This would leave:
Xander Future Xander Faith's Dad Buffy's Dad Angel Warren Andrew
The Immortal Harth Riley
I don't think it would be Angel, because he's busy right now. But maybe future Angel.
I suspect the Immortal and Andrew most of all, and then Riley, and then Xander.
I'm pretty sure Andrew's going to two time us, but I also think Satsu might.
I'd add to the list of suspects
Pike (or someone else from Buffy's LA past, including her dead watcher) although he's even less likely than Buffy's dad, and that's a long, long stretch.
I'd add Oz, but his height is an issue.
I'd also eliminate Warren, because I don't think a man in his condition could have a secret identity.
ANOTHER THOUGHT: What if, instead of Twilight being a future version of someone, Twilight is an alternate version of someone.
Such as, Dopleganger Willow was from the Wishverse.
What if somebody created a parrallel world that Twilight crossed over from, and he's just trying to make this world the way it was?
