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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

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.

Holy crap! The other comic looks like an old EC horror title...

Thank god that they caught it before the daughter started coloring on them.

Y'know what really bugs me is the report's continual use of the word 'sketch' to describe those comic book pages. Not appropriate, not by a bloody long shot.
