Given the references to the TV series, I wonder if "That's not Anya" means the ghost is an "imaginary friend" Xander accidentally created. Many fans wondered the same thing about Tara; that WIllow had an "imaginary friend" she had "magic-ed" into being.

That's a good likeness of Anya on the cover.

That's a better way of dealing with Spike's attempted rape of Buffy than the previous issue. The idea that an awkward, overwrought apology could magic the event away and suddenly allow them to start dating was painful. Allowing the relationship to happen and to acknowledge what happened, and that it's part of the relationship (not an obstacle to it) is a much better approach.

huh... that was dealt with in a really good healthy manner.... i'm worried about Xander though....
