I'm sorry all, I even went to CBR and copied their jpeg images, they're still not showing up! Maybe someone can fix that for me. 🙂

Nevermind, fixed it!

So, my comments: you guys know how I feel about Harmony so yeah, not thrilled about this, although the artwork is great. It just makes me mad that with so many great AtS characters that could make a real difference to Angel, we need to give more panel-space to her. I really, really, really hope it's the last time we see her.

I adore the Spike cover!!! For some reason seeing him in front of the Fisherman's Wharf sign reminds me of the Hellmouth seal in the high school basement.

it's always good to see Clem, even if it means putting up with Harmony for it to happen.

I'm guessing that the mysterious snappy dresser, Severin, is the guy who may (or may not) be Buffy's new love interest for the season, but I wonder who the snake haired guy behind Spike is. Did Medusa have any children? Hey, maybe Snappy Dresser and Snake Hair are the same guy, like Dawn's thricewise demon boyfriend.

Whats up with the art for Spike? He looks like a German bodybuilder. lol

I'd rather have real Angel characters back instead of Harmony. Connor, Gunn, Illyria, etc. Hell, I'd settle for Kate over that twit Harmony.

Boy - just what we need, another romantic interest for Buffy - I wonder, does anybody really care about Buffy having a new romance in her life? That to me is about as exciting as a spoon full of peas. I would think that very last thing Buffy would want or need is another lover. New romance makes about as much logic as Buffy trying to find the happy time in a round of lets get as drunk as possible.

I feel really sorry for Buffy -

Yuck, Harmony. I've had enough of her. And the art for Spike is... bleh. His head is all weird-shaped and he kinda has a tannish look, even if that's just a shadow. Am I the only who thinks Severin looks hot? Maybe I just have a thing for pale skin and cool black hair. And I like that he's a snappy dresser, for some reason. XD Still, disappointed that she's not hanging out more with Spike.

I love the Spike cover! He looks like he's been working out 🙂
Am very impressed with that other Buffy cover - it looks to be quite symbolic and intriguing.

Oh for the love of Clem, why must Harmony of all characters be back?

I'm a bit intrigued by this Severin character. The Buffy cover is great looking!

So you don't think this Severin guy is going to be the new gay character?

BLUH over Harmony being back. I wish she'd find herself on the sharp end of a stake already.
I don't want to read about Buffy's new love interest; I want to read about the characters we know and love already. How bout some more character development between the Scoobies?
