For my own purposes, completely out of my own curiosity, I wanted to take a quick look at how Spike's been portrayed in comics, using only titles in which he is the titular character because we'd have to get waaaaay too much into how other characters are portrayed otherwise. Honestly, between all of S8 and the Armstrong-Willingham arcs, there would be too much to say. On the chopping block, we have...

In this corner, we have... )

ETA: Excuse any spelling errors. I am very tired. XD

ETA: Thanks to Double Duchess for reminding me of an online comic and another vignette that I missed! :D
I just realized that Bill Willingham, writer of the first half of the god-awful Angel: Immortality for Dummies comic series, also wrote "erotica" comics... with plots that circled around mother/daughter threeways involving a Catholic bishop... and no woman can ever enjoy sex... and men are disgusting, filthy pig-dogs... Suddenly the whole "Spike is now an amnesiac man-slut" plotline totally makes sense now... and I wish it didn't... My brain hurts.

I've figured out that Willingham is like an internet troll with his comics- he deliberately makes things horrible just to see how far he can push his seemingly unshakeable fanbase. O_o;;; He and Whedon must have a tea party one of these days.
