Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I have to say I'm very happy to see Dracula and his minion. But was Raidon the itchy neck dude?

NYT review/piece on Buffy #12 - seriously. NYT???

And why do they say that Satsu should be pronounce Sought-sue? I thought it was Japanese.

Buffy #12 screencap!

Interesting suggestion over at TWOP: that Andrew only thinks he's in charge of his group of Slayers.

Whoohoo! I was hoping for that. Now a fic I've been reading will be in canon! Whoot!

Buffy: Also note that apparently Jilli is now one of Dracula's minions.

Also, basically what Cashmere said.

Dammit.

I couldn't quite put an Anya together for #11, but it would have had a bunch of lines like, "I am, of course, tenderly wiping mud off your face in an ENTIRELY PLATONIC MANNER," and now I've missed my chance to be retroactively funnier.
