I have a sneaking suspicion that the decreased amount of Xander in the final seasons was due to actor issues, and that we'd have seen a lot more of the guy otherwise. Now I'm starting to feel grateful we didn't.

Hookles already covered most of my reactions, I think. I enjoyed the first issue but the second one is heading into Queen of the Slayers territory pretty fast, sidelining its female heroes and treating the "empowered" Potentials as an army of jailbait redshirts. Or maybe I just hates me some Andrew.
