What is it that makes her flirting with Spike more relevant? Is it how the scene is set up or the words used?
Maybe because she was flirting with him first. And she wasn't so drunk when she was with him. I'm not sure she was even drunk. She was peppy, but I don't know. With Riley she was obviously drunk. I don't consider her scene with Xander flirting. Xander was pissed off and really sad, she was comforting him.
How so? What exactly is going on?
In the beginning of #2, Buffy was being asked to repay her student loan by a demon. Willow was more interested about the consequences of breaking the seed while Spike was being supportive and giving helpful suggestions to get Buffy out of this problem. Later, when Buffy runs away from the police, she asks Xander and Dawn for shelter and they refuse, she meets Spike later and he's supportive and caring -in a way Xander and Dawn weren't- and he says he'll keep investigation the danger that's after Buffy.
has Buffy made any mentions of her romantic feelings for anyone at the moment in any of the issues?
Romantic feelings? As far as I read, no one. She cares about Spike and her friends and sister, but she didn't show romantic feelings toward anyone yet.
Couldn't Spike be crying because of immense pain? I don't know how Severin works, but it sounds like it would be terribly painful to be Siphoned.
Maybe he's tearing up because he's in pain, but the scene shows Buffy looking at Spike sadly, saying, "Spike... don't..." Spike is looking right back at her and whispering, "Buffy."
The scene is oozing of Spuffy.
There were a lot of Bangel-centric covers in S8, so what makes this cover more relevant?
Because is Spuffy at their best, fighting back to back, looking at each other, Buffy with a look of longing - that's how I see it - and Spike with a confident smirk. I love this cover.
Is there an expectation that Spike and Buffy will be a normal couple, i.e. is there an expectation that this cover is being literal?
We don't know yet. But Buffy is pregnant now and she's going to have a meaningful talk with Spike in the next issue according to Scott, so I think she's going to settle down and have a normal life for the sake of the baby and Spike is gonna help her. Spike told Koh that Buffy needs normal and Spike isn't normal, but I think he's gonna try and be normal for her. That's just me guessing. We'll have to wait and read the issue.
