#34 Spoiler?

Mar 11, 2010 01:03

Scott Allie posted this image of his desk an hour ago on twitter, and then immediately took it down.

I haven't read them all and it's possible that this is an old issue, but I'm pretty sure that it says #34 in the corner of the page. So... spoiler alert!

It's not an old issue. I saw it too and didn't know he'd taken it down! Yaay spoiler :D

Who was that in the bottom left panel? I thought it was Dawn at first, but it didn't make sense in context...which means maybe it's Buffy? All that glowyness really got to her, lol!

I thought it might be Dawn at first, too, but my friend argued that her hair was too short for it to be Dawn. I can't think of who might have hair short enough for it to be recognizable as that character, though. They all have pretty long hair! I think whatever that panel is, it's a flashback or some other reference outside what's going on, based on the narration text that seems to be continuing across those panels.

That does make sense- although now my hopes that the middle panel were Buffy and Spike, or at least that Buffy didn't spend the whole issue f***ing, are dashed. :( Because even if that is Spike (and it's a little girly-looking on second glance), then it's just a flashback and doesn't count. But to what? Is that a slayer being killed? It would make the most sense in context, I think.

OMG IS THAT SPIKE?!

He's back... and it's about time! :D

Unless if it's a flashback... but still, flashback Spike is better than no Spike!

And Allie emailed me today, asking if I could take down that picture. So there's something about it... (or possibly just a way for the leak to seem unintentional when it wasn't)

thehornedgod March 11 2010, 17:06:27 UTC

Could be a flashback, but even that's better than nothing, yeah. He's bound to put in a proper appearance at some point.

I dunno if I believe in Allie and company cunningly making strategic leaks look unintentional. They don't come across as machiavellian masterminds to me.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit. :D But I'm guessing that Spike's flashback is a precursor to his arrival, if they follow the same format as always...

And it's possible that there was something else in that pic that wasn't okay, and ruined the leak. Was it the Wash comic, maybe? It could be that it hasn't been publicized or something...but it really could be anything.
