Such a odd little one-off. I liked it, but maybe it was just where I read it (in the Season 9 Vol 1 trade) that I have no idea where it fits in the continuity. Is this before Spike shows up in Season 8? Does he go back to the bugs in Season 9? If I had read this during Season 8, I would have loved it unabashedly. In Season 9 it’s just leaving me confused.
