Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s existence started at the movies, turned into a television show and is now in comics. Through it all, one of the many (many, many) reasons the show has been popular is the diversity of the characters. Surely everyone picked up on the heavy-handed metaphors that told us Willow liked girls? Well, now Buffy’s had a lesbian affair in comics, and the mainstream media is going nuts over it as critics debate whether it was a marketing ploy or a plot necessity.
