Ha, Buffy just cant seem to avoid that "instinctive" companionship fetish. Ah well, 500 girls, one boy you consider your brother, who would YOU screw?

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)

Spoiler:

. 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.

I have no problem with Buffy experimenting (people DO do that in the real world)...but it does come out of nowhere...especially considering the chat Buffy had with Satsu about how sweet it was that the girl was in love with her, but she's not gay and can't return the feelings...only to turn around and have sex with her in the next issue,

I dunno, I would have liked to have seen more build up in regards to Buffy's curiosity to experiment instead of the sudden "lesbian sex scene just to shock the fanbase, lookatmmeeee!" thing Joss pulled.

The way it happened came across more as a stunt to get people to check out the comic rather than a development to the story, and I honestly expect better from Joss.

I also didn't enjoy, once again, watching Buffy use someone who loves her just for sex because she "feels lonely".

I hated that pity fest in Season 6, I really don't wanna sit through it again in the comics.

Anyone else catch a peek at that cover for one of the summer issues?
