That Buffy Cover Is Unblurred

[jcbaggee]

Earlier today, sherkahn posted two covers to upcoming Buffy, The Vampire Slayer issues. One featured main villain Twilight with his face blurred out. Well, a few hours ago, CBR published the unblurred version and...well...





I'm not even going to attempt to explain this one.

Is...is that Obama?

Confusion aside, I love how the villain in this vampire book is called Twilight.

[jcbaggee]

Yes, it is.

[darkblade]

Almost like they are trying to say something.

Apparently they are trying to say Obama sparkles.

[darkknightjrk]

I just imagined Twilight where Michelle is Bella and and Barack is Edward.

...

Excuse me while I go projectile vomit.

[darkblade]

Hurry up please. I'm going to need that vomit corner too now.

[queenanthai]

Oh, HAR har.

[thatnickguy]

I KNEW IT!!

[proteus_lives]

Ha! Nice one!

[neuhallidae]

I LOL'd.

[darkblade]

I think this might be a joke. Looking at sherkahn's post the blurred head has a completely different shape and Obama's face seems stylized differently that the Buffy cast.

[jcbaggee]

Oh, I have no doubt in my mind it's a joke. Surely they're not crazy enough to make the world conquering bad guy in their comic The President.

[sherkahn]

We had a vampire Reagan and a snake-people Nixon. Wouldn't be a precedent for Presidents.

[proteus_lives]

Don't forget Zombie Reagan!

[arilou_skiff]

Yeah, unlike Terry Goodkind.

[pallas_athena]

Yeah, definitely a joke, from the "MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY" appearance.

[arbre_rieur]

I don't know what's funnier: that cover or the fact that, judging by the CBR thread, there are people who don't realize it's a joke.

[schala_kid]

It's a joke, someone posted it in 4chan and in another comic board, the folks from cbr took it and put in on their front page.

It was all over /co/ it even made a mod appear from hiding.

[dreamreaver]

Really? I must've missed it. Damn timezones.

[katok]

.......there are mods on /co/?

[galateus]

That sounds unpossible.

[schala_kid]

Someone had embedded an image in a post and everyone started asking said person how they did it, so the person posted a screen capture which had options for mod posts (and one of them was embedding an image into a post).

We were all surprised.

[geoffsebesta]

a mod? on /co/?

Pics or it didn't happen.

[lea_hazel]

Damn, I was looking forward to spoilers.

Ethan Rayne!

[superfangirl1]

Hilarious joke.

[zordboy]

Wait... what?

[salad_barbarian]

I knew he was evil! Why didn't more people vote for Bob Barr?

[halloweenjack]

Oh, that Whedon!

[queenanthai]

Huh. Actually, wacky idea, what if Twilight is actually a future-Buffy?

[lamashtar]

WHEN PRESIDENTS ATTACK!

[mcity]

I was hoping it was Edward Cullen.

[darkblade]

I was thinking Myers herself actually.
