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.

The neighbor is Heinrich, as in "Nest"! Reeeeeally unusual name, guys. Doesn't anypone else see this as odd?

I don't think that he is the resurrected Master. Heinrich lives in isolation and I wonder if he's from the future and has to hide to avoid disturbing the timeline.

(I think that "Fray" and time-travel stories aren't over yet).

The odd thing is that Robin doesn't know who his father is and Buffy doesn't know who the father of her baby is which really makes me wonder if the recluse could possibly be the father of both babies. OTOH then if this Heinrich is Nest he couldn't be the father of Nikki's son as he was imprisoned in Sunnydale at the time.

Heinrich the Slayer Impregnater! :)

The question is who is he. Why is he hiding. Why has Buffy forgotten her visit to him? She remembers (albeit vaguely) her interactions with Riley and Xander. Could he do something to make her forget? Yes, I remember that spells don't exist anymore, but he could have that mojo Men In Black use.

I believe that Heinrich will be the gay guy that will be introduced in Espenson's story. They leave it vague like that so we think that he is the one that impregnated Buffy, when basically he won't. And those flowers were probably his way of saying "thank you" to her because she introduced him to Andrew.
