This was a nice mini-arc to revisit, as I remember the hay made about it when it launched and I love how well it held up. I find Billy's love interest/watcher to be a bit underdeveloped and his appearance to be kind of an odd Angel/Spike mash-up (except much more smiley) that makes him read a bit milquetoast. But Billy is great and I love that we got this story. I would have even loved it more if it was more than two issues long and we could've spent a bit more time in his small town and gotten to know his grandmother and his best friend a bit more.
