it looks like spikes cheekbones in the first cover. And in the second cover, it looks like spikes hair! Does Spike not make sense to anyone else?!? I still hope it's Ethan! He makes the most sense of anyone in my opinion.

He makes the most sense of anyone in my opinion. The expression on Buffy's face isn't really what I'd expect from an Ethan reveal. It would be more like "Hm. Thought you were dead. Oh well." And then she puts her knee in his groin.

Only if he calls her "love". Or "pet". Which I guess Spike does too...

That's why I don't think Twilight is Spike, or Xander for that matter. For him to be either of them, he'd have to have scrubbed himself absolutely clean of his previous personality, quirks, and mannerisms. I see absolutely nothing of Spike or Xander in Twilight. I suppose something could have happened to cause such an extreme change in personality, but I think it's unlikely.

On the CBR website (thanks to Felici Day Twitter for the link), the picture is in better quality and you can see what appears to be the end of a tatoo near the top of Twilight face, incontinuation of his eye. This would be Xander good eye, btw.
Who would get a tatoo there?

I actually just uploaded the hi-res pics, but thanks for the heads-up anyway.

Could it be a scar?

I hope I'm not the only one that will be a future version of Xander or Giles, or even Spike or Angel. Honestly, I'm not too worried about Spike or Angel. Like somebody said, Joss has built the whole season over the identity of Twilight...but Scott Allie said that they would only be used sparingly...not to mention that Angel has his own series and Spike is getting his. I know Joss can use whoever he wants, but I really doubt he would rip them out of the IDW world for this.
As for the Future!InsertCharacterHere...It's just totally unappealing. I would feel so jipped if, after waiting for how long now? May of '07? That it ends up being...Xander? Come on. That's just totally lame, IMO.

ETA: Also, according to this solicitation "Twilight" is down to 4 issues again, which directly contradicts the solicitation for #32 in the current issue of "Previews." I guess we'll know for sure when #36 comes out and we see whose name is on it. According to the updated solicitation section, taken from CBR, this will be #2 out of 4... but I guess it still warrants an official answer from Allie.

Is it possible that the "tattoo/scar" by the eye is part of an eyepatch...as in Xander's eyepatch? That was the first impression I had. Plus if you think about it, it makes sense from a storytelling perspective. Buffy is having a growing attraction/connection to Xander (stemming as far back as The Long Way Home with her dream about kissing him)...wouldn't that be considered the greatest betrayal? This person is her rock, her strength. And now someone she potentially loves (as more than a friend). I'd feel pretty betrayed! Plus I have to wonder if the dream where Xander's head comes off in TLWH isn't more telling than I originally thought. I'd have to read it again, but it could be a big indicator that Xander really is Twilight.

That's just totally lame, IMO. Agreed, I don't mind the odd story using time travel, but to make the final game-changer of Season 8 rely on it, is very un-Joss. If it's time travel, OR Ethan for that matter, then my reaction will be "huh?" not one of shock, as imagine alot of other people's would be. As for the hint of scar, could the twilight symbol be carved onto his face?

Wasn't Ethan Rayne shot in the left eye? If it is Ethan, he could have a scar there.

Under obssesive observation, it's a little thick to be the tying rope of an eyepatch tough, it got some kind of a hook shape , and it seems to continues directly from the eye, which mean that if it is the tying rope of an eyepatch, it would go straight in front of his eye. f it is a scar, by the way it is positionned, it means it would probably go trough the eye, meaning that, If Big T is Xander, he would be completly blind unless using magic.

The "scar" thing just looks like the inside of the mask he's pulling up to me.

I'm not sure why he'd be wearing his eyepatch under the mask.
Also, I doubt they'd give us a clue like that in the solicitation art.

The "scar" thing just looks like the inside of the mask he's pulling up to me. Don't know how you can see that. To me it's pretty clear it's apart from the mask. It looks very close to the skin, hence my tatoo theory. But hey, who knows? I'm not sure why he'd be wearing his eyepatch under the mask. Also, I doubt they'd give us a clue like that in the solicitation art. Is it really a "clue"? I mean, if it's something new to Twilight (meaning not sported by his real identity as we know it), then it doesn't give us much more clue to his identity other than "Twilight has a tatoo/scar" I'm going on a leg here, but could it be that the reference to Giles tattoo wasn't thrown there only for fun? Maybe it's to make us remember Giles could sport mystical tatoo if he wanted to?

I don't think the thing on is cheek is supposed to be a cheekbone...It stops at his too early. I think you guys are looking too hard for nothing. It simply looks like a shadow to me. Not a cheek bone. Not an eyepatch or tatoo.

I reall hope its not Spike, he hogged the light off of all the scoobies in the later part of Buffy and yeah he's already getting good enough treatment over at IDW, same for Angel. Since u pointed out that line i think it could be Xander. we've already seen Ethan in this series as a bad guy so it wouldn't be that big of deal.
With all the attention being put on Buffy's possible love for Xander, I think that would just be a fitting twist in the story, or here's a bigger twist:
TWILIGHT IS BUFFY AND XANDER'S CHILD FROM THE FUTURE AND IF HE IS WEARING AN EYEPATCH HE MIGHT JUST BE FOLLOWING AFTER HIS FATHER OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! ..or it could just be an alternative verson of Xander...maybe Vampire Xander even that would be shocking!!!
