Buffy Season 8’s Big Bad is… Angel?!?!?!
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...According to an interview with CBR, “Buffy” editor Scott Allie has known that Angel was Twilight since January 2006. He was “quick to note” that while the identity of the “Big Bad” (a term originated by Joss Whedon to describe a larger enemy that is confronted at the end of the season) is not a secret anymore, there were still plenty of surprises in store for comic writer/novelist Brad Meltzer’s arc on the series (starting in February’s #32) which will be followed by the return of Buffy creator Joss Whedon.

Allie stressed that assuming a flat out battle between Buffy and Angel was the next step in the story would be wrong. “Right now it feels to everybody on the outside like, ‘Oh, the cat’s out of the bag! Twilight is Angel!’ but the question [of how the end game rolls out that] all the fans are asking is not really the right question. If this was any other book and Twilight was any other villain, that would be the question to ask. But the question right now is ‘How does Buffy react to the fact that Twilight is Angel?’ It’s not as simple anymore as ‘Now we’ve got to deal with the bad guy.’

Not sure if this is another fake out like the Obama cover last month, but it seems awfully elaborate if so… Dark Horse has released 2 covers for Buffy the Vampire Season 8’s #34 which is supposed to reveal the identity of the big bad whose been a thorn in their side since #1, and its Angel! Or is it Angelus? We’ll see. The interviews sound pretty official, I don’t think they are kidding this time.

I somehow think it’s a ruse. I really can’t see them giving it away with the cover like that. But, then again, there WAS that picture on Bryan Lynch’s site of “Spike is not Twilight”….so I guess we’ll see.
