It's not that I'm opposed to having homosexual characters in comics or anything, I mean I thought what they did in Ultimate X-Men was great because (in case someone wants to be surprised by the series)
. However, having Buffy all the sudden have that relationship does come off as kind of like a gimmick to boost sales or something. Then again, they said it "evolved naturally" so oh well. I guess you could also argue that all comic book plot twists are gimmicks to boost sales.
