Just in case you're curious, here are some preview pages from the Dark Horse site, and a few more from Scans Daily. Wow, it really is weird to see Willow chatting with Skinless Warren.
But yeah, this notion of pinning everything on "Earth" and "the universe" is new and weird. I keep thinking of that Galactica tagline - "God didn't create the Cylons, man did" - except I guess in Galactica, it turned out God did everything after all. At least "the powers that be" suggested some kind of vague cosmic bureaucracy, whereas attributing everything to the will of the universe seems even more passive and helpless.
As for the sex, I guess this is in keeping with the Buffyverse tradition that anytime anyone, anywhere, gets it on, it's always Teh Greatest Sexxx Evah. But if boinking is the key to opening the dimensional portals and letting the Old Ones back in, does this mean we need to go back and reevaluate seven seasons' worth of Hellmouth symbology?
