What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't remember what happened to Warren . Could he have built a mecha-Dawn ?

The last we saw, he had disappeared with Amy. Good call.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's for Buffy, Steph. It's s Dawn who's the centaur. It says she's gone through more bizarre changes.

Oy.

Note to ita: I tried to use the quick-edit and futzed it up. Is that only at the beginning of a line? Because I tried to do it in the middle and hence the screw up. I tend to want to err on the side of caution and only use the html code if it means I don't have to worry about spoiling someone accidentally.
