Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Gloomcookie, I thought that too!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It is very definitely Faith strangling Buffy under water. As Jilli notes, that's a Faith outfit.

Plus, Buffy has a history of being drowned .

And a history of Faith trying to kill her. Though I thought they were past all that at this point. Wonder if it's real or a dream/fantasy (or that's not really one or the other of them).

I suspect she's another slayer. One we meet at the beginning of this particular arc.

I found the first cover more recognizable for Buffy and Faith. It could be because the same artist has done her enough I recognize the style. I didn't like the Faith on the second cover at all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A woman buys stolen Jack Kirby artwork from Avengers #1.

At a garage sale for $2.00.

Which she then gives to her daughter to color.
