I complied a Wikipedia-worthy series of facts of stuff you may or may not have known about the Buffy and Angel comics, covering the original Buffy and Angel comics and the new Season Eight and After the Fall Comics. Sections include "Cameos by Pop Culture Figures," "General Trivia/The Story Behind A Certain Issue or Image," "Cover Homages to Pop Culture References", "Cover Variants," and a "By-The Numbers" bullet list of how many Buffy/Angel comics certain writers and artists have contributed to. If you know a Buffy Comic Trivia fact that I have missed please tell me! Enjoy! Go to this link to check out the trivia list: buffycomics.hellmouthcentral.com/html/trivia.htm

Nitpick: Jo Chen in the numbers section. She's done 19 covers. Jon Foster did the 11-15. Though she did 23 if you count the covers for the trades

I will make that distinction more clear in the next site update. And Malsad" thanks for the tip, I will check it out. I also forgot to mention that Brian Lynch cameo'd in Spike: Asylum and Chris Ryall (IDW editor) cameo'd in Angel ATF #16. THANKS!

I had no idea about that "the final cut" was re-done for the superatural defense kit!
Ebay, here I come.
EDIT- Btw, is either version avaliable in a omnibus?
"Dark Horse released a promotional piece by Cliff Richards in Diamond Previews magazine of Buffy and Pike battling the undead in Vegas." Which issue?
"two page installments in the pages of Diamond Previews (1999-2000). " Three pages are shown. And the issue, was it the one for 1999-2000? Does it have a nr?
I'm bad at this stuff.
Oh,also this ir repeated "Spike took on a vampire Hugh Hefner in Spike: After the Fall #4 (2008). After killing Hefner, Spike took over the Playboy Mansion and wore his silk pajamas."

Also, the panel with the alien wearing the "Burge is My Master Now" shirt... the alien is a character from Brian Lynch's Monkey Man series, so that deserves mention. Also, Westerberg from "Everybody's Dead" makes an appearance in the last two pages of Angel AtF #16.
Daniel Craig is in Buffy #10

Christian Bale makes a double appearance in Buffy's "anywhere but here" fantasy in #10. And so does Tina Fey (in Willow's fantasy). EDIT: May also want to note that the "Tina Fey" reference gets played on in Harmonic Divergence (#21) as well.

You guys are awesome! I just put in all the stuff mentioned above by youse guys! Check it out! As to the Final CUt, the extended Supernatural Defense Kit version is in the Omnibus, which is cool. Unfortunately I don't have the issue # of the Diamond Previews magazine for the Viva Las Buffy ad, but it would've been the issue that had the solicitation for Buffy #51. if anyone knows which issue this was, please let me know!

So there's no confusion, I've added images to the "By the Numbers" section so everyone can see specifically which issues each creator did... Just click on any of the numbers to view the images.

Kennedy wears a Sesame Street character T-Shirt in #22: "Swell"... is the character Groucho? or another character? anyone?
Also Larry King cameos, and it looks as if Kennedy wears a Watchmen T-SHirt also when she confronts Satsu when she's possessed by teh Vampy Cat
