Question: Spike's Role in the Comics?

[fenderlove]

Quick word: I won't be responding with my own opinions to any comments left in this post, so feel free to answer honestly without fear that I shall pounce upon you. I may have further questions to ask.

How would you describe Spike's role in the comics in Season Nine? And to go further, what is his literal role in the comics? What has he literally been doing? What has been clearly asked of him by any other character or characters? The key words for all this are definitely- literal specifics. I'm looking for less interpretation "if you turn it sideways and squint and read between the lines" type of examples and more for just what has been presented.

Like I said above, I won't be responding with my own opinions. I'm just curious to find out if I've missed something in translation.

The theory is that Spike and Buffy had sex at the party. A couple or so days later, the Siphoning caused Spike's semen to come alive inside of Buffy, and she conceived at that time. I don't know if Buffy douched, but that doesn't prevent pregnancy anyway (doesn't flush everything out, and some say it can even make conception easier.) Plan B, I dunno why Buffy didn't choose to use that, just in case.

Anyway it's a doable theory. Whether Joss is going there, I have no idea. If he does, he'll be my favorite fanfic writer of all time. ;-D
