Wait, I thought that was just a hypothetical future vision thing.

I've never been 100% clear on whether those visions were things that had happened that they didn't want anyone else to know or things that might.

They've referred to the stolen loot in another issue after the one in which it was introduced. I just can't remember which one. And now that the current issue also showed the green snake/serpent goddess/demon/whatever that we saw with Willow in the "stolen loot" issue, I'm think the fact that both scenarios were referred to in subsequent issues means that they were really real, not potentially real.

I've always suspected that the heist was the issue that drove Giles and Buffy apart. They've never said that, but I could see him having a serious objection to that sort of thing.

Yeah, someone asked where the money came from, and Buffy said that some donors preferred to remain anonymous. Huh, that issue was so confusing to me. I still don't understand what "betrayal" Willow was talking about at the end. She was just talking about bringing Buffy back from heaven. We went through that already.

Buffy 18 cover 1 and Cover 2.

So extremely different from each other.

Uh, not that I don't believe you, but are you sure the first one is really for Buffy? Maybe the web site got it wrong. It doesn't look related at all. Like, AT ALL.

I know. Hmmmm, perhaps I will doublecheck at the Dark Horse site.

Heh, someone is a B5 fan...

Not seeing that far ahead on the DH website.

And if so, WTF is going on there? (With Willow, I mean.)

Did you notice, Steph, that when Willow was unconscious her vision of Saga Vasuki tells her she couldn't hide from "what you are, what's to come?" Very reminiscent of Buffy's dream in Restless with Tara telling her nearly the same thing. I don't know if it's an accidental echo or if it's Ultimate Drew's love for continuity pulling something out from long ago, just to say he did it. And if he did pull it out, why? Is there some connection between Willow and Buffy (having similar dreams) or Saga Vasuki and Tara (being the avatar for these messages)?

Totally loved this issue, despite the quibbles over Mecha!Dawn and poor artwork. Drew knows how to push all my buttons with the funny and the let's kill all our favorite characters. He's learned well from the masters.
