Well, this is rather insulting: look at the set of Jo Chen "Season 8" souvenir glasses that Dark Horse is selling: they feature Buffy, Angel, Willow, Giles, Xander, Dawn, and Faith...but no Spike
( Read more... )
Either that, or they just keep forgetting that Spike exists. Their "Season 8" comics have put Buffy and Angel back into a big romance (which due to an incoherent plot twist has caused millions of human deaths, not that either Buffy or Angel seem to mind), with the Spike/Buffy relationship apparently shoved to the wayside...ergo the large Bangel picture on one of the glasses. The Dark Horse writers and artists consist very largely of Buffy/Angel fans, and they don't seem to be interested in having Spike on their radar. Their chief editor confessed that until recently, he had no idea that Spike and Spike/Buffy were popular!
Their obliviousness is mind-boggling, isn't it? Even if their staff doesn't personally like the character, from a business standpoint it only makes good sense to create products that the fans of that character would buy...and surely they've got to have noticed by now that there's a huge Spike fandom!
We can use their comics as coasters to soak up the strawberry-flavored Nestle's Quick poured over orange Circus Peanuts (TM Mystery Science Theater 3000) that we serve in the Spikeless glasses, which we'll leave sitting on the dashboard of the car so that the mixture dries in the glasses and traps flies and cockroaches and obliterates the glasses' artwork.
Every time DH makes one of these faux pas, I want to scream about how I WANT A FUCKING COMMEMORATIVE SKULL RING! I will continue to scream for a long, long time.
Yes, if they actually put Spike on a shot glass, I would have bought the set. And promptly smashed the Bangel glass. or sold it on ebay, if I was feeling mature ATM.

*grin* Yeah, and we need BtVS Season 6 Spike bling, too, dammit. I want a repro set of his gold necklace and his thumb ring and whatever other sparkly bits he was sporting that year.

*coffee spit* LMAO! See my reply to ShipperX above for what I'd do with them.

Of course, as far as I can tell their comics are also incoherent crap.
