This issue quickly wraps up the Xander plot (I know this isn't technically the end). It was kind of muddled, but this series has been since Hellmouth. But I guess they wrapped it up for the sake of giving this series a boost by having it interact with the TV show universe. I used to be excited about the new interpretations of the characters and the rebooted universe (you can find me defending it A LOT), but I feel like this series has way too many plates spinning and things took a turn, and my optimism was detroyed. So you know what, I'm welcoming nostalgia, even if it's a cheap way to get me to keep reading the book.
