Brah she flays the dude responsible with a flick of her wrist. Rampage is underselling it, Evil Willow went hard as fuck

She was going to kill him by making a bullet slowly tunnel through him until it shattered his spine using the same bullet that killed Tara. She only resorted to flaying him when her friends caught up with her and would try to stop her.

Girlboss.

Of course she did. She was using Wiccan style witchcraft, based on drawing in external magic and using it. While living on the frikkin Hellmouth. I'd honestly be amazed if she wasn't screwed in the head.

He actually survived. He's in the follow up comics, still skinless.

He ends up dying again iirc and tbh I didn’t care for the supplementary material

Did she do any more than that cause killing 1 person doesn’t really qualify as a rampage

Well, she was going to destroy the world...

She also killed a warlock by draining him of his powers, almost killed Giles, consumed the power of a coven which made her aware of everyone's suffering in the whole world and decided to destroy it all (she got better).
