I hadn't really thought about it, but that's probably right. Not sure I want to comtemplate the implications, though.
Not Willow. The Slayer she took with her to save Willow. From whom she borrowed cinammon scented lip gloss.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Frankenbuddha -- no.
lisah -- yes. Though I think it's open to misdirection as well.

Art Crawl!!!
But - (and I need to go back to check the veracity of this) that slayerette wasn't in the room at the time.

Ah, see I totally missed that.
I was thinking Willow because Buffy had some of her power. Although I seem to recall that happened during the run of Buffy at one point, which is why it didn't ping me while I was reading it.

Sumi, I totally disremember that. Well, I don't remember it one way or the other. It was just that Buffy saying "Cinnamon" was so obviously meant to point to something, and not just be random WhedonBuffyspeak.

I really need to go back and reread the earlier issues. There seems to be a lot in this issue that harks back, especially to fragments of Buffy's dreamscape. When Willow-in-Buffy showed Amy her mother, I thought I remembered someone pointing Mrs. Madison and/or the little stautette that was her prison out at the time.
But, damn, there's always so much in every issue. Even if I read as slowly as possible, I have to go back and read it again after I come in here and see how much I missed.
Also, the letters column gets some whackos, big time.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Whackos. Word. Seriously, who spends that much time and angst on something they don't care for?

I haven't yet managed to get my hands on Buffy#4, but I'm very looking forward to it. I have however been reading Fables and Powers for the first time.
Fables I'm a bit meh about. I just don't see what all the fuss is about, though Boy loves it.
Powers, though, may be my favourite thing ever of all time ever. Deena Pilgrim and Christian Walker, Crime Fighting Team Extraordinare! Oh yes, me likey. And seeing as how I'm really getting into The Boys, I think maybe I just have a thing for superhero cops.

Jars, are you reading Fables from the beginning or have you just picked up current issues? I like the way it takes so many well-known fairy tales and subverts the hell out of them, but it takes a while to develop it.

I'm reading the TPBs. I started at the beginning and am on... I dunno, seven or eight books in, anyway. I think my biggest problem is the dialogue. I think the plot is great, but the characters and dialogue aren't up to supporting it. That's not to say I think it's bad. It's better than an awful lot of stuff out there.
