The "baby universe" thing is, I suspect, a rip-off of the Qwewq/Neh-Bu-Loh subplot of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers comic series (too complicated and unnecessary to explain, look it up on Wikipedia if you want).
Ah. Thanks for the reference. I'd wondered. I think Grant Morrison did the same thing with Marvel. It didn't work for me. But I know Whedon worships Morrison's work.
I am worried that this whole comic series will end up just as Joss lecturing Stephanie Meyer on not being feminist.
I'm feeling much the same way. The last two issues feel like a lecture to Meyer and all the other poor women who were Buffy fans and started writing vampire gothic romances...that they aren't feminists and completely understood Whedon's intent regarding the Bangel relationship.
Sigh. I wonder if he realizes that these people aren't the ones reading the Buffy comics??? Or a small percentage of it?
