Seems Comics Spike is Brian Lynch's personal property now. Oh well. At least we know he likes the character, even if his Spike isn't quite the same as ours.

I try to be philosophical about it. We have Spuffy-Spike, Spangel-Spike, Spander-Spike, comics Spike - I can always choose the one I like. *g*

The show ended with the B/A vs S/B rivalry as a draw, and that's how it'll stay.

Yes, but Joss will be milking this triangle till forever. Every time the ratings drop he'll use the guys to raise them. I have the impression that he plans to go on with BtVS comics for at least another season - i.e. another three years.
