If I don’t put a MAJOR SPOILERS warning here, some Russell is going to get upset that I’ve ruined the issue for them (drink).
But trust me, you’ll want to take the jump.
From Buffy Season 8 #12
Dark Horse Comics, the publisher of Buffy’s comic strip, estimates that since the comic’s inception in March 2007, more than 1 million issues have been sold, approximately 120,000 each month.
For some reason I expect that number to climb.
Did I post this image for shock value? You Bet.
Did I post this image to titillate those of you who get off on this type of thing? You Bet.
Did I post this image to raise a ruckus over Buffy potentially being gay? You Bet.
Link-bait reasons aside, this one panel sums up everything that may or may not have happened just beautifully. From the art, to the color scheme, to the positioning of the bodies, to the one word reaction to the event, this is a panel that I feel is one of those top notch examples of storytelling.

“Wow” is right! Now here’s my question – is that a “wow, that was great sex” or is that a “wow, I can’t believe I almost did that”. Based on the look on their faces, I think its the former.
I don’t get it.
Personally, I don’t see the big deal about this.
Does this make Buffy gay? Probably not.
She’s slept with two vampires, but that doesn’t make her a necrophile.
Or does it…
These freakin’ Skrulls are popping up everywhere!
Man you totally Russell’d me!
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
