Buffy # 11 out today (and in my hands).

Do you know why we love Joss? We love him because he has things he loves to do, and we know he loves to do them, and he still finds ways to do them that are surprising and funny.

In other words, " Itchy neck " is my new Funniest Line Ever.

I may have shed a tear at " I didn't mean to go there " and I love that not only has he got Buffy doubting herself but I'm not sure either. I love having no idea where things are going.

So are we thinking Twilight is an enhanced human a la Caleb rather than some type of souped-up demon? The tease about a mask reveal makes me think he's going to turn out to be someone we should recognize .

Who do we know who can fly ?

I was thinking that it is Caleb, somehow, because of the "I know that trick," or whatever the line was when she about sliced him up the middle starting with his balls.

And because he seems to know her and made a couple of not so friendly toward women remarks. If I recall, Caleb had some of those issues, too.

I loved seeing the Slayer Slugger, little league version again!

And Xander continues to make me happy, though I do hope we get to see him... clock some field time... one of these issues.

When I opened the issue I exclaimed Oh Baseball girl! and I was a little disappointed that the issue didn't turn out to be her story . Still, great issue! And I won't be surprised if you're right about our mystery baddie, Jen.

My thoughts by highlighting :)

WHO IS TWILIGHT???

Obviously: Male, Coccasion. Along with that, he has an itchy neck. In Season Five of Buffy, Riley was having vampires feed off of him. We even saw one drinking from his neck. It's possible he became addicted even more later on, possibly after a bad divorce or something (I even liked the theory that Sam is a slayer), and the vampires drinking off him caused his neck to be permanently itchy.

As for the apparent hatred toward females, this one comment made me look at the MOST UNLIKELY VILLAIN... Parker Abrams. I seriously doubt it's Parker, but it'd be interesting if it was, although maybe also a little stupid.

For anyone who says Angel or Spike... SHUT UP ALREADY! And, not to quote from Mr. Wood[censored!], I mean that in the most respectful way possible. We've heard over and over again that the two verses will NOT crossover and even Scott Allie told SlayAlive that there was no chance of it happening (see his answers to the ASK DARKHORSE).

If I had to come up with a list of all male possibilities, even ones I think incredibly super unlikely, it'd probably be this:

Riley
Parker
Hank Summers (so disturbingly unlikely)
Andrew (hey, maybe he's not just gay but also a secret woman hating butthole)
Pike (thanks to my pal Shiai for this one. It'd be most interesting)
The Cheese Man!

Why not Warren? Twilight wants to end all magic. Amy=witch. Amy=girlfriend. Warren wouldn't do that to her, and she wouldn't give him the power to do it. Plus, magic is why Warren is alive right now. However, magic skinned him alive.

The line "I've seen that move slayer" would seem to indicate two possibilities: Angel or Caleb (since I think Angel was there at the moment she finished Caleb off).

I'm doubting the former if x-overs are a no go (among many other reasons) but I don't get it if it's the latter either.

I'm also curious if the falling out between Giles and Buffy has to do with the jewel robbery.

They are giving really good Xander - to be honest, better than they did the last couple of seasons of Buffy.

I was waiting for the masked dude to say after "one thing I've learned about this girl" and it sorta fits the theme of "everybody who loves me dies" was:

"to kill her you have to love her."

I know they said no crossovers, but there's only one person that could be.

Still, itchy neck. Maybe from wearing a priest's collar so much? All the other clues seem to smack of Caleb, but how is he back? Joss admitted he oopsed with Warren, so you think he wouldn't do it again.
