Well, I made my points here (http://beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com/75764.html#cutid1) - and so far I see no reason to change it. As washa_way put it in the comments back then:
Also, the crossover with Fray, an alternate-future Slayer? If there's anyone in the Buffyverse other than a member of the Trio who could come up with that, I'll eat my copy of "Days of Future Past (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_future_past)."
Note that that was written four months ago. Note the plot summary in the link, if (like me) you haven't actually read that particular comic.
...Despite her success, the future timeline from which she hailed still exists, but as an alternate timeline rather than as the actual future...
You have a good point about the lack of male eye candy in the comics - the occasional buffness of Xander, Twilight, Riley and Daniel Craig notwithstanding - though I think that could be explained with Andrew over-romanticizing the female empowerment theme of the original series. Which, of course, is canon.
ANDREW: It's like... well, it's almost like this metaphor for womanhood, isn't it? The sort of flowering that happens when a girl realizes that she's part of a fertile heritage stretching back to Eve, and... XANDER: I'll pay you to talk about Star Wars again.
