Giles' resurrection

[dragonyphoenix]

I'm reading the Buffy comics, the issue where Giles is resurrected and some issues after - the What You Want, Not What You Need volume, and some of the points are 1) during the ritual they need to keep in mind the Giles they knew because that’ll influence how he comes back, 2) his aunts go clothes shopping for him, and 3) teenage hormones kick in when he’s around Faith.

I hadn’t read these comics until now but all of these issues showed up in my stories On This Side of Goodbye and Shopping! which was written for the 2014 Summer of Giles. The current Summer of Giles, which has just started, already has some excellent work including Dark Heart Walsh's Epilogues which is the story that sent me hunting down the Giles resurrection comic.

Can I ask for a favour? Can you tell me if there's Ethan Rayne, and what he's up to? In brief summary, I'm not asking for detailed essays or anything complicated ;)

If Ethan's in the comics do you mean? I think he's dead, with a huge wound or something in his head but still running around. I haven't been following the comics after Darla's Sire showed up.

None of the fanfic I mentioned in this post has Ethan as a character which is somewhat surprising for a story I wrote. I'm a big fan of Giles / Ethan.

I stopped reading after he was killed, but art I've glimpsed from later on suggests that nobody dies for good in Buffy comics. "Still running around", like you said. I was just wondering what he does from a fan's pov (as opposed to just reading summaries/reviews).
