Oh, I'm such a bitca today. I think I'm really tired of the soul storylines at IDW. Seriously, all of their storylines are about souls. They had entire arcs of Angel that had little to do with his soul, so why does every character's story have to do with their soul or lack thereof. They're just rewriting canon physics over there, and they've got a more messed up concept of balance than Joss Whedon. Apparently when someone regains their soul, someone else loses theirs... which makes no sense because when you lose your soul in the Buffyverse it's not destroyed, it just goes up to the glowy interregnum place in the ether.
That's actually not a terrible scene. Though, really, it looks as though it's terribly easy to manipulate Buffy, as long as she has complete blinders about you.
Hehe, I haven't seen the issue yet (I've read #3 and have to do my review on it still), but things just keep making my head explode the more I think about them.
I'm really glad that Brian Lynch admitted that he went waaaaaay to far with his attempts at comedy at the first few issues and it didn't work. It gives me a small smidgeon of hope for the last issues.

Wolfram and Hart didn't read S8. Who can blame them? :)

As far as the Slayer is concerned, in the words of Angelus, "And [she] falls for it every time!"

I give them props for at least attempting to explain. Were it Dark Horse, they'd just ignore the whole Spike-Buffy storyline altogether.
