Warning: This is a positive thread. A happy, happy squeally thread. So, please no negative opinions.
I think my favorite part in S10 is Xander's entire arc. I don't remember him ever having such a coherent and well structured arc before. It was carefully crafted kinda like the S7 Spike arc, which was best written thing in S7 because obviously the writers cared about it so much. If S10 were a TV season, this arc would have kicked ass. I think Nicholas Brendon's involvement in the comics this season helped giving Xander a storyline. A central storyline that is. 'Cause previously Xander either has a storyline but it's in the background (S4) or has a central role but no storyline (S2).
Also, I ADORE the Spander!!! Finally! These two have so much in common and it's about time they become friends.
I also loved that issue where the Scoobies go back to their childhoods and how it affected them in different ways. Xander and Willow wanting none of it, Buffy, Spike and Giles getting into it.
I think I will do a reread and post my thoughts soon. I only read the first issue or the second. But it'll be awesome, especially for the Xander arc.
There's a fanfic about Xander's sessions with Dr. Mike but it isn't finished sadly. A lot of fun S10 Scoobies ficlets and I enjoyed reading a number of S10 Spuffy fics at Elysian Fields. I should totally write a S10 fic of Spander and their kittens.
