I think
there has to be a catch to what Amy's done, as in a kiss from someone who loves Buffy will permanently lock the spell rather than wake her or something similarly tragic. Why would she go on and on about the way to break a spell she traveled thousands of miles to cast otherwise? Also, why did all of the Slayers in the room just let her stand around yapping after the first few panels? I'm just saying, Bitch might be more inclined to be truthful if someone played "he loves me; he loves me not" with her extremeties...
Though I do appreciate that "You buried me under tons of rock when you turned Sunnydale into a crater!" is a much better rationale for revenge than "You kicked the magic crack habit and think you're so superior!"
Here is a "review" of the latest issue:

Those scare quotes were definitely appropriate.
Been thinking about the first two issues of the comics, and about the one little teasing thing I remember from Joss' early interviews about the comics run. In all the early interviews, he said It's all about Anya.
And then it hit me. Everyone ... and I mean EVERYONE ... clearly identified the Great Muppety Odin line as way too Xanderish, and let's face it, the preoccupation with sex, even in the confines of her own head? Little odd for Buffy. But go back and read those lines in Anya's voice. And then consider the Xander sex dream. And the "I wish" bit when she goes out the window.
My tin-foil hat theory: Buffy's not alone inside her head.
Anyone else think that the line
"XANDER: And not a sister. " is a shoutout/flashback to Xander's dream
in RESTLESS? Specifically, Buffy
calling Xander "Big (?) brother".
I also loved the line that made Nora and Cindy laugh.
Oooh, victor. I like that a LOT!
And eww, I just had the horrible thought of what if
Amy's "boyfriend" is Anya.
Ditto. I'd never heard that bit about Joss saying
it was all about Anya,
but I can see it. I'm still not sure about the
Muppety part, but the Odin, yeah. Consider the time and place "Aud" came from.
Oh victor, I've missed your Giles-is-Ethan-Rayne-get-out-your-tinfoil-hat theories.
