Joss Whedon posted a VERY nice tweet about Luke: It'd be nice if the reboot comic found a way to bring Pike back and give the character the TV role he always deserved.

It was this comic, which was based on the original movie script: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origin_(Buffy_comic)Sadly, the comic didn't do much with him, and he swiftly vanished without a trace after that. I actually think he was Buffy's best love interest, and it's a shame we never got to see him with SMG's Buffy. As I said, it'd be nice if the reboot comics could rectify this.

The character of Pike actually did appear in a Buffy novel called Sins of the Father, he travels to Sunnydale to get Buffy's help with a demon that's after him in LA. It was pretty good if I remember rightly.

That is a lovely piece of art. As you said, Pike with the true Buffy.

Isn't it ironic that the real Buffy is best friends with Luke's 90210 girlfriend? And, I love her Instagram tribute to him. Of course, SMG's a Brenda/Dylan fan, too.

Yeah, it is. Funny how these things work out.

It was pretty good if I remember rightly. Your right Adam, Pike was in a novel of Buffy called Sins of the Father. I did more digging from wikia, and Pike appeared in many more comics. From what I've seen they did a prequel series of Buffy's time before Sunnydale.

Pike and the true Buffy.
If only this had happened on the show.

Tell me about it. Might be a controversial opinion, but I actually prefer Pike to Buffy's other love interests. Riley and Spike were both horrible to her, and while she had nice dynamics with Angel, that relationship was never meant to last. She needed someone who respected her and could give her some sense of stability, and Pike was the one who came closest to that. The show should've never left him out.

The only drawback would be that Luke couldn't do it, he was still on 90210 when Buffy started. Of course, they could have brought him on after 90210 ended in 2000.

He could've also simply done Buffy instead of returning to 90210 in the first place. I hated what the show did to Dylan in S9-10, anyways. Alternately, they could've also brought him in for the last two seasons instead of hooking Buffy up with Spike (a huge mistake, IMO).

That's right, he left for a few years.
Whedon missed a big opportunity here, when he didn't ask Luke to join.
