I can see what you meant, my point was that there is no more basis for making your comparison with trashy Hollywood sequels than for mine with classic literature. And although BtVS S8 is commercially successful that doesn't mean it has to be so by adopting Bruckenheimer's tactics. You can read the bank robbery in terms of caper movie conventions, but it's not a reading that's easy to maintain given that the previews for issue 11 already indicate that Joss doesn't see it that way but as something with serious repercussions that his protagonist is all to aware of and responsible for.
