Buffy #30

As seen in previous issues, Riley's been working with Twilight as part of his inner circle. This issue, Buffy spots him wounded on the battlefield and brings him in.

The three giant Goddesses from last issue are indiscriminately slaughtering both sides. It appears that they've been away from this plane for so long that all humans look the same to them, and they can't tell friend from foe.

	Nice to see that Riley didn't sell out. I always thought he was cool, even though he wasn't exactly right for the show/Buffy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I must admit I despised Captain Cardboard during the series, but it wasn't really his fault. Season 4 is still my least favorite, but not because of him. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not all the fans, I liked him. Where's MRS Finn though, I hope at least ONE character got an ongoing happy marriage out of the show, and she was great fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pffft, don't be crazy, that's impossible. There can only be one happy couple in Buffyverse at a time (if that) and now that Oz is a happily married daddy-- No, seriously, by all appearances Mrs. Finn is still around being badass somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I liked Riley! I hated the way he got derailed like hell in Season Five (having it just not work out would've been so much better than vamp hookers, what the hell was that about) but other than that I liked him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They seemed to be trying to make some kind of point about Buffy's relationships with men, but it wound up being lame and heavy handed and damaging to pretty well all the characters involved. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't think so. He's got nothing in common with the franchise beyond the name; it Whedon wanted to satirize Meyer's books I'd think there'd be a bit more to it than that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Slayer Army obviously buys the one shade of lipstick, in bulk, to save money. Or it's just the one stick that everybody is sharing, being applied before battle like some kind of trashy war-paint. =/ (Reply to this)

I'm probably one of the few people still digging this series. It's not as good as the show, but as far as an adaptation of something from another media, it's definitely one of the best.

That said, I've been waiting for YEARS for them to reveal who Twilight is. I thought it was going to be Riley until he appeared again. Honestly, the longer it's stretched out, the more anti-climactic the reveal is going to be.

Right now, my money is on Caleb, but the options for who it could be are running thin. Possibly Giles; that would be a great switch. I could see him being entirely against the idea of a Slayer Army.

So, Buffy and friends unleash a bunch of killer goddesses on Tibet. Yeah, it's not the most populated country in the world, but still, I don't think that the Tibetans exactly deserve a bunch of killer goddesses stepping on them. And, this after illegally selling the parts from a stolen submarine to God knows who.

Are there supposed to be heroes in this comic or is everyone just a bunch of murdering idiots?
