Spike's Spaceship is Buffy Season 8's Most Unhinged Innovation (And It Rocks)

The Buffy Season 8 comics were full of big ideas, for better or worse, but Spike saving the day with an alien spaceship was certainly a highight.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight was touted as a continuation of the critically-acclaimed series – and what's more, it promised even bigger storylines that never would have been possible with the show's budgets or technology of its time. No aspect of the comic series went more out on a limb than Spike's subplot, which featured him piloting an interdimensional spaceship with a crew of human-sized bugs.

The spaceship, and its interdimensional origin, first appeared in the Spike miniseries – written by Brian Lynch, with art by Stephen Mooney and Franco Urru – released alongside Season Eight. Spike's Side Story Comes Crashing Into The Main Plot Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight treated fans to TV-impossible effects like giant Dawn – and centaur Dawn – as well as skinless Warren, a high-tech Slayer headquarters in a Scottish castle, and of course Buffy and Angel's flying sex scene.
