Oh god you've have to list a lot more then you have here to math my misgiving about both Joss and season 8 love. *g*
I get what you're saying, but I have to disagree about the bragging thing. Spike does brag, but normally only in the company of other men. He has a bit of a different approach when he's with women.
I think the fact these comics are now mainly aimed at men is the reason we are seeing these approaches, Your average comic book guy isn't going to be at all interested in the softer/more complex side of Spike whatsoever I'm afraid. They want Spike in conflicts with Angel, and surrounded by 'hot babes', which is depressing I know, but thats the way they think judging by comic books today.
