Spoiler! Have you all seen this yet? Season 9 Issue 8 Spoiler

[Anca]

If this is for real, Spike will blame himself for let it happen. And where's that Koh dude? Wasn't he supposed to be at Buffy's service?

She better get her arm back cause I just cant with Buffy losing her arm. I wish they would think "would we have done this on the show" if its No then you probably shouldnt do it.

 

[david4wt]

Well, she definitely is the chosen girl, isn't she?

I don't agree with this. Comics are a different medium altogether. I mean, L.A. went to hell after NFA in the IDW comics. That couldn't have happened on that kind of scale in the show, but After The Fall is a-ma-zing.

I don't know, I don't find this all that shocking. She's a Slayer, I think it's incredible that she's got this far without losing so much as a pinky toe. I do wish they would stop with the huge spoilers, it leaves very little left when we actually get to read the issue. I understand that this is a cover though. Although they've given us half-hidden covers before.

Does anyone find that cover funny? The way her arm just hangs there in the air like that, stake still in hand... I laughed tbh.. will be interesting though.

 

[Anca]

The more I think about it, the more I convince myself that is a cover-up for Buffy being pregnant. I even imagine Dark Horse peeps saying "She's just pregnant. Be glad that she didn't loose an arm".

But who knocked her up, then?

But who knocked her up, then?

Probably the mystery guy from her night before the morning after in Issue 1, when Buffy woke up naked in bed with bottles and cups all over the place and Willow just stepping out of her shower. Unfortunately, she has no recollection of who her mystery lover was, so if that really does turn out to have happened, there might be a quest for daddy in Buffy's future.

 

[Anca]

But who knocked her up, then?

Andrew (they played some games in the pool and then went to change their clothes in Buffy's bedroom, things developed, "waterborne adventures with Andrew - Scott Allie") or the fairy (the mosquito Spike saw, magic related).

I've got nothing.

Though that missing night would probably be where the answer to a potential Buffy babydaddy quest lies, I wonder if maybe it could be a red herring!

What if the blessed event happened before season 9, off-screen? Xander has been awfully dismissive of and mean to Buffy this season, and they had a talk about "Dawn can never know" in the first issue. Maybe the two of them, in their shared grief about Giles or something, made a mistake and hooked up!

Again, I'm sure that none of the above is true (and I would really hate for the two of them to betray Dawn), but if Andrew is a potential alternative, I'll take it! 😀

You will all be shocked to find out that I think Angel is the father. 😛 😛 😛

I don't care how illogical (which it actually isn't...considering...they did have an awful lot of sex) and how batshit shipper insane it is. It's the only way I stand this storyline, so I'm clinging to it for dear life.

I don't understand. You really want Buffy to see her child as a reminder of her betrayal, "boinking Twilight" as she said in S8 #40?

I sincerely doubt Buffy needs any reminding of what she did in S8. I ship B/A. I believe in them. Even after S8. So yeah, I want Angel to be the father.

 

[Chosen Enemy]

And I want Spike to be the father! He was at the party, after all 😀
Besides, Angel is already a father. Let someone else be, neh?

 

[white avenger]

I have serious doubts that we're going to actually see Buffy pregnant unless it all turns out to be a clever hoax of some kind. If there actually is a legitimate pregnancy, it would be much more logical to see either the subterranean Buffy or the one living in Rome as the expectant mother. And as for Angel being the father, that's already been done, and it turned out less that ideally. The same can be said for Cordy. Joss seems to see parenthood as an opportunity for mahem and disaster and I just don't want to see Buffy put in the middle of anything like that.

Then again, if she and Spike had a baby who turned out to be Giles reincarnated, that could get really interesting.

 

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

Like I sad in the General Discussion forum, I think it is most likely that this "pregnancy" - if it is even real - is a result of her one-night-stand. It can't be Angel's, the time frame doesn't work. It can't be Spike's. Could anyone honestly see Buffy and Spike having casual sex after everything that has happened? It can't be Riley's. Isn't he still married? And as far as we know Buffy hasn't slept with anyone else.

Or, of course, it would be mystical. Old card, true, but I wouldn't put it past Joss and Co.

That said, a one-armed Buffy pregnant with some kid and no idea who the father is? Sheesh. Joss really is a sadist.

 

[Leeson]

I choose to believe the babydaddy is Heinrich in 2D. If she is pregnant.

Which, I hope not. But I refuse to put anything past them. Anything. I would believe it if they told me she was pregnant with Giles' frozen sperm at this point, however, just because of the oddness of decisions lately.

OMG. I kind of want that to be true just for the mind-frak of it, Goddess help me.
