And here comes Spike bearing cats...

[rbfvid]

Hopefully this is a draft of a panel for upcoming  BtVS "Love Dares You" comic arc made by new artist Megan Levens.
If it is true, I don't care what was in the Buffy comics in the past - this makes up for EVERYTHING.

Damn it, and I had just about weaned myself off the comics!

I totally call it a foul blow - she uses cheekbones, kittens and nail polish agains us!

Right? All of the sudden I'm almost interested again. (Almost.) At least I still have an excuse to not toss out my comics icon.

And Joss' dictum to make Buffy "look like Buffy but not like Sarah" actually makes sense with these. Although I'm not sure I'd recognize her as Buffy if you didn't tell me (and the same is true of Angel - I recognize them because of the context) whereas Willow and Xander are extremely recognizable. Jeanty totally muffed up Willow anyway but Leven's Willow is aces.

Indeed, she does gread job with Willow and Spike (and with kittens))

Lovely art. I especially like the artist's take on Willow, but Buffy seems very good too. Spike bearing kittens could be the best thing ever happened in these comics.

Frome these sketches (and art for other comics) I like her, than Rebbecah Isaacs. But, of course, everything could look totally different when the actual issue comes out...

[rbfvid]

Yeah, there is definitely something...

I'm not a big fan of the art in those draft panels, but I do love the "other" art, so I remain optimistic.

And of course nothing is better than Spike carrying kittens.

I don't even know, what it is - but a mere thought of Spike with a cat makes me melt. I guess it's the closest thing to hard shipping feelings that I can have =)

[double_dutchess]

I'm with you 100%. Spike and cats are basically my two favourite things, so Spike + cats is just the perfect combination. (Of course, Spike is basically already a big cat all by himself.)

I couldn't pinpoint it for a very long time, just the general feeling "but there is something in the way he moves". Until I finally watched "Lineage" where was that moment and it all became crystal clear - Spike Is A Cat!
