Buffy #6 review

[moscow_watcher]

In a nutshell:
Very good issue. Really inspired art, especially in the last scene. All the emotional nuances are written on the characters' faces.
Great dialogue. "We don't all have spaceships!" - hysterical!
Interesting, controversial content. I don't want to assess the story before reading it whole - but, so far, it's fascinating.

Interestingly, Joss also said in his interview:

And obviously there will be complications to the whole storyline that could only happen in the Buffyverse. But it’s not about what happens, it’s about that moment of decision, and just articulating what so many people are not saying, but so many are thinking.

I took it as a (very slight) possibility of Buffy reconsidering.

Joss in his interview says that he believes that Buffy shouldn't keep the baby. He believes that Buffy should have the abortion. That's just his opinion on the story, as if as he was a reader, not the writer. What he believes and his opinion though doesn't count. Joss doesn't say what Buffy will do, he just gives his point of view on the story.

What tells me actually is that Buffy will decide to keep the baby, the interview isn't foreshadowing or telling us what will happen, he just says his opinion like everyone has the last days.

Yes, I, too, have the impression that he just wanted to add oil to the flames.

Plus we have Spike babysitting the baby bugs in the webcomic, it's there for something, Scott has changed his avatar in tweeter and he has the pregnant Buffy touching her belly, Buffy looks pregnant in #9 (the one that has waitress Buffy Vs rich Buffy) and a couple of things more that I don't recall right now that ensure me that Buffy will keep the baby. Not sure though that I want that or not, it all depends on how they'll tell the story and what they have in mind.

Scott has changed his avatar

Heh. Didn't know about it, thanks for the heads-up.

Not sure though that I want that or not, it all depends on how they'll tell the story and what they have in mind.

IF Joss plans to keep the baby, it will be most likely connected with restoring of magic. We'll see.
