Nobody commented on the Buffy/Angel reveal because nobody wanted to take the jump and get spoiled..The header-image served as sort of a warning to skip the post. I cant complain about being Russell’ed though since this is Dark Horse deciding to use it as a cover.
I can understand your thinking, and for this site it wouldn’t surprise me, but nearly all of the other comic book sites had a similar reader response. We all posted the solicitations within hours of each other, and it wasn’t until the weekend was over that people finally took notice of the interview CBR had run.
I mentioned that Buffy is Dark Horse’s number one seller, but I don’t think the majority of people who are reading Buffy are die-hard comic book fans that visit sites like Major Spoilers. So for the core Buffy S8 fans, this news will still come as a shock to them.
Angel as Twilight makes complete sense, he’s been told to have a huge role in the Apocalypse, fighting for the bad guys mind you, so I can buy that with little or no problems.
P.S.- I also Skip any posts with Buffy spoilers, Stephen I will have my revenge, in this life or the next, I will have my revenge!
Thanks for the head’s up. I will keep my flyswatter handy for when you come back in the next life…
Oh karmic snap!
Ouch! Mon ego et moi saurons nous venger…
Crap, wrote it in French, translation: “My ego an I shall find a way to get our revenge…”
It was actually pretty cool in French. :)
