Got five minutes so come back to say a quick word about a few of my answers.
I ticked that I wasn't still reading the comic, but I will be. I won't buy myself a copy any more (the Retreat arc was the last straw for me), but since I have to buy them for other people I will read them before I get them in the post. I just won't bother reviewing any more unless there's a massive improvement, which I don't see happening now.
Though I ticked that Spike was the character I most wanted to appear, I'm actually not that keen on him doing so. For a start, I know he'll look about 12 years old if Jeanty draws him. However, since Angel got to appear in the Buffy's dream issue, it seems only fair to me that Spike also appear as something other than a cheesy sex fantasy. I would like to think he meant a bit more to Buffy than that.
The reappearance of Warren is by far the worst return of an old character. It's lame, ruins the end of season 6, and what's more Joss's explanation that he forgot Warren was dead was lame too. Also, I hate that he reintroduced Ethan Rayne only to kill him off like that. What a waste.
Best romantic pairing for me was one you didn't include. I really liked Xander/Dracula. It was fun. I quite liked Buffy/Satsu too. Wouldn't have minded if that had gone somewhere. On the other hand, the Buffy/Dawn/Xander 'romantic triangle' bores me rigid.
I think the identity of Twilight is about the last spark of curiosity I have about where this story is going, and re: the canon question, I accept that Joss says this series is canon. All I can say to that is, couldn't he have thought of something better?
I don't consider the AtS comics canon at all, not even the one with Joss's name on them. Season 8 notwithstanding, I like to think that if Joss had personally continued AtS, he would have given the character of Angel more depth and not whitewashed him the way Lynch has.
I did enjoy Lynch's 2 Spike series a lot. In fact, they're the series I've enjoyed the most out of all these comics. However, I've enjoyed them more for knowing they aren't canon.
