So, I’m not the biggest Buffy fan, but my wife is a fanatic. She’s not goth or anything, but she loves the Buffyverse, so I turned her onto this comic when it first started coming out. I’ve seen a good share of episodes and I like the show, so I started reading it, too, and its been pretty good so far. I know there are a few more fans out there, so let’s discuss.
The latest issue (#12) was pretty crazy. So many things going on in this issue. #12
i think that issue was after she was dead, she refused to appear in an episode where all the characters were seeing dead people because she didn’t like how her character was being portrayed in the episode
there was a big outrage at the time (when she died) because they killed a lesbian on tv or whatever, but whedon said he would of killed whoever willow was seeing at the time to push willow to where they wanted her, so i don’t think it had anything to do with Amber Benson (she occasionally writes comic books too for the buffyverse)
they brought her back in one of the comic books, i think it was the 3rd or 4th one i forget. it was one of the earlier ones though in volume 1 cause i bought the book and that only covers issues 1-5
Right.
I know her character was killed for story purposes, I meant that she wasn’t resurrected because of some as-of-yet-still undisclosed reasons.
Which basically translates into “money” or “creative differences” (as you mentioned.)
I remember Joss mentioned it in an interview back in the day.
He then went on to give a quick summary of how he was going to go about bringing her back.
