It’s the Crossover No One Realized They Needed

Buried perfectly replicates this comic’s style with both Black and White maintaining their iconic sense of humor as they ruthlessly plot how to kill the other.
What drives home this meeting of the minds is making Anya the focus. She’s the center ofSpy x Family’s signature humor withAnya’s adorable personality and meme-worthy faces, soit’s important that she plays a central role in her interactions with Black and White, not Loid or Yor.For instance, her loud screams as she realizes both Black and White mistake Loid for the enemy spy are laugh out loud funny. Plus, it’s capped off perfectly when Anya givesSpy vs. Spy’s signature laugh and peace sign.
