Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 03, 2016

Man I hate it when that happens!

Lio’s love is at “stake.”

She’s the Buffy to Lio’s Dracula.

So, what did you expect, Lio?

Years ago, I worked a retail job that allowed us to wear costumes to work on Halloween. One year, I dressed as a vampire hunter, complete with stakes and a mallet. One child looked at my arsenal curiously“What’s the hammer for?”.“To drive in the stakes.”“But you just stab them in with your hand.”Like many of the Buffy writers at the time, the child didn’t realize that, without the title character’s superhuman strength, the ribcage is going to be a bit of an issue.

When Angel Met Buffy

She’s finally going after his heart.

Well that bites.

At least she’s after your heart now, Lio.

Stake by the pound.

Eva has often seemed to have a few bats in her belfry…..

She’s staking her claim on him.

Run Lio!

Buffy!

That’s Girl Power — especially if Eva’s last name is Van Helsing!

Not “The Flash” I’m familiar with…

Lio is putting everything at “stake” here. Now all Eva needs is garlic and a cross.
