Shinyness. Maybe even more so than the first.
I know there was supposed to be some possible Xander/Buffy love, but actually seeing it (even if it was only a dream sequence) was just...too disturbing for words. I guess I'm just not sold on them being together.
I'm pretty sure that was Spike in her dream. Though as to what that could mean is beyond me.
Was anyone else cheering at the end when Willow showed up? As if Amy could possibly take that on. 
And once again, we commence with the month of torment until the next issue.

I swore to myself I wouldn't look at this post, but I caved.
I'm in heaven over the Buffy/Xanderness!!! Been wanting this forever it seems like, but even if it's just a dream, I'm still thrilled Joss hasn't forgotten those of us (SMG and Nick Brendon included) who've been rooting for the pairing. Spike fans got their wish (for a while). It's OUR turn now!!!

Do you realize TFAW aren't even shipping anything until Monday even though they have it in stock?! Plus, I'm on the second cheapest shipping method, so I'm paying extra $ to have it late anyway!
Grr Argh!!

Just got the second issue. I am 100% dead against Bander. It's icky, like watching a brother and sister kiss. Seriously hoping it's all part of Amy's manipulative dream sequence, and its this sequence all the Bander rumours have stemmed from this sequence. I hope they play the kiss from Xander to wake up Buffy as sweet rather than erotic. Or get Willow to do it 
Other points - are we sure it was Spike in the dream? Thinking back to the rumours of a big bad from season 5, smart money could be on Dracula. Great entrance from Willow, though her outfit was kind of at odds with the preview images of her!
The Dragon! "I know you..." Cos you rode in on it six months ago into the alley outside the Hyperion! No? Anyone?
Amy's obviously mojoed up big style. An army of zombies! And no more info on the boyfriend.
I'm still in overload mode incase you haven't guessed. By the way, I've never owned comic books before. How do you guys store them? Can you get a little case or something for them?

Wow! Just got 2 emails from TFAW which said my comic has been sent (don't know what the one from the other day meant then) and should arrive in 2 business days. Since tomorrow's a holiday, don't know if that'll be Monday or Tuesday. Would today count as the 1st business day?
Anyway, it also sucks that each $2.99 issue is going to cost me more than $10 to get it shipped here before the month is up.

Don't know what the big deal is against Buffy/Xander. I love both Angel and Spike (and happily-married Riley), but still don't honestly see a happy future with either of them. Buffy and Xander have the potential to grow old together. Wouldn't it be ickier to imagine 70-year-old Buffy with either vamp?

Considering "Great Muppety Odin, I miss the sex" I think it's safe to say that there has been no overt relationship betwixt Xander and Buffy. One might develope though. As for the kiss I think passionate is the key there. I doubt a sweet kiss would be enough.

I'm sure of nothing. Could be Drac as you suggest or I've entertained the notion of the Immortal showing up to see who it is he's supposedly having an affair with. Or it could be Spike or Angel (less likely Angel though. He doesn't go in for the long coats.)

I think the dragon is Amy's projection into the dream. My hyperion fantasy involves Kate showing up with the LAPD from one end of the alley and Anne with the kids from the shelter at the other end. I guess the slayer contingent could arive on the rooftops though.

You can get plastic bags to put them in and collector types slip some acid free cardstock in with the comic so it can stand up on a shelf without bending. This procedure is called bagging and boarding and my comic shop is doing it for me for free. Don't let anybody know but most of my comics I just lay flat on the shelf. I'm a baaad boy.

When I initially saw the dream figure I thought Angel, but taking a second look he doesn't seem built enough to be angel and definately has Spike Characteristics. I think whoever that ends up being will in fact be the one who wakes her with his kiss. Yes, the Xander/Buffy relationship seems credibile but I highly doubt it will be Xander who kisses her to wake her from her slumber. I say this because A. he would have done it really early on without thinking about it. And B. it hints at Buffy's affection for Xander and maybe its just me but I don't see any reciprocity there, not yet anyway. And I know a lot of people may think I'm pretty sick for suggesting what I'm about to suggest but...I donno why I'm feeling Xander+Dawn...Also I feel like a terrible fan for having to ask this but it seems like Amy is a name I should recognize from the series but I don't in any way shape or form, can someone help me out on that one? And lastly, yes I did cheer for Willow at the end...literally I jumped out of my seat with a very emphatic "YES!" aloud.

Amy was the daughter of the cheerleader witch in the season 1 episode 'Witch'. In 'Gingerbread' she turned herself into a rat to escape being burned at the stake. Therafter she was kept as a pet by Willow until season 6 when Willow finally managed to turn her back into a human. Amy introduced Willow to the evil magic dealer Rack and gave her a big boost of magical energy when she was trying to quit cold turkey. In season 7 Amy cast the spell that turned Willow into Warren.
I think that's all of her appearances. All of the important ones anyway.
