Page "Warren Mears" Paragraph 5

Warren appears in the canonical comic book continuation of Buffy, as a surprise reveal in the final panel of an issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.

In " The Long Way Home, Part Three " ( 2007 ), Warren is revealed to be the " boyfriend " that Amy had been living with beneath the Hellmouth following the collapse of Sunnydale in the television series finale.

In Part Four of " The Long Way Home ", he reveals the means of his survival.

Amy saved Warren's life and suspended his life with her magical powers.

In penciller Georges Jeanty's interior artwork, Warren is depicted as skinless, as in his last on-screen moments in " Villains ".

Warren bears a considerable grudge against both Willow and Buffy.

Though he lobotomizes a captive Willow, she is rescued by Buffy and Japanese Slayer Satsu on a rescue mission ; Warren escapes by teleporting away with Amy.

With regards to the continuity issue of the First Evil impersonating dead people, and Warren being " saved " by Amy, Whedon clarified in the Letters column of a later issue by stating that Warren had been legally dead for " like a second ".

In " Time of Your Life, Part One " ( 2008 ), serving under series ' villain Twilight, Amy and Warren attack Buffy's Scottish citadel with a missile and spectral warriors, killing seven Slayers.

In the " Retreat " ( 2009 ) story arc, Warren and Amy assist Twilight in tracking Buffy and Willow's movements through their use of magic, forcing the group into hiding in Tibet, where they learn to suppress their abilities, leading to an all-out brawl between Twilight's military forces and Buffy's depowered Slayers.

Later, in " Twilight " ( 2010 ), Warren discovers he has been working for Angel, Buffy's ex-boyfriend, and Twilight's true identity.

When extra-dimensional demons start pouring in, Warren and Andrew ( now Buffy's trusted associate ) squabble over who gets ownership of a geeky composite superhero defensive armor ( working replicas of Iron Man's glove, the Punisher's vest, Batman's utility belt, Captain America's shield, a Star Trek tricorder and a Star Wars X-wing helmet ).

After Andrew takes a severe injury, Warren is left to protect him using the Iron Man repulsors.

Later, once Spike arrives, he and Amy are taken as prisoners aboard Spike's ship ; they escape, however, when the ship arrives in Sunnydale.

In the final arc, in " Last Gleaming, Part IV ", Buffy destroys the Seed of Wonder and thereby dispels all magic from the universe.

Warren is with Amy at a cafe away from the fray in Sunnydale when the spell that replicates his skin ends.

He turns to a pile of blood and bones before Amy's eyes.
