We've been told the whole time that Spike and Angel could only be used sparingly in the Dark Horse line and this is what they chose to do with them?
I have to say, I can't remember reading anything about there being some sort of fixed number on how many times they get to use them. AFAIR, it's been hinted that Joss can use them anytime he wants to, obviously as long as he doesn't mess with any of IDW's many many pseudo-canons. I very much doubt that there'll ever be any true resolution to the Buffy/Angel/Spike triad, except if either of them gets killed off (which seems unlikely). It would be nice to see some sort of reaction from the Season 8 crowd to the events of NFA (though obviously, that would mean Joss would have to choose an ending) or to Spike's return, but I doubt we'll get a full, meaningful crossover; they'll just keep teasing for a few more years, and eventually the comic will be so far removed from the TV series that they'll just drop the subject or something.
