Product Description
Vampires that, at will, can transform into wolves, panthers, insects, or fog invade the Slayer base of operations in northern Scotland, and not only walk away unscathed, but in possession of Buffy's scythe, the symbol of Slayer power worldwide. Buffy and the Slayer-legion travel to Tokyo in order to learn more about their dangerous new foes, as Xander journeys to Transylvania to solicit the only person they've ever known to possess such power - Dracula!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Volume So Far, 2 Jan 2009
I've been a Buffy fan for a very long time, having owned all the DVDs and seen/loved every episode I was thrilled to learn the Season 8 comics published here in the UK.
However the Season 8 journey has not been smooth; the first volume was very fast paced, features cameos that felt out of place, didn't give enough information to process where they are now/how they got there, plus it lacked Joss Whedon's humour. The 2nd volume was better paced but fans were confused about the plot surrounding Faith for canon reasons (she already redeemed herself, etc). The 3rd volume is the best volume so far; stronger story, better characterisation and the return of the humour that made Buffy stand out of the crowd.

This volume contains the comics 'A Beautiful Sunset' and the four part story - 'Wolves at the Gate'.

'A Beautiful Sunset' is a short revolving around Buffy, Satsu (a fellow slayer) and their first encounter with the big bad - Twilight. A nice story that lets readers know how bad Twilight really is (he doesn't just float around!) and sets interesting themes that'll hopefully be further developed later on. Plus it fills some gaps in the story that the past volumes had left empty.

In 'Wolves at the Gate', the legendary scythe is stolen by a group of Japanese vampires who seem to possess magical abilites simular to the infamous Dracula. In need of his help; Xander seeks Dracula in order to stop them. The first volume of this story raised questions as Buffy has a one night stand that was accused of being a 'marketing ploy' - personally I have no problems, it seemed fitting considering how 'A Beautiful Sunset' left off. The only problem I did have is Dracula, some of the character traits he has in this story don't seem to fit how he was protrayed in the TV epiosde he appeared in - but that's just my opinion.
Otherwise; a good story, nice twists added plus great imagrey. There were some nice scenes in here that would work brilliantly on-screen if they ever decide to do another Buffy film (currently rumoured).

Overall; the 3rd time's the charm, the best collection Season 8 of the lot so far. Can't wait for volume 4.

I hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like the show!, 8 Feb 2009
By D. Bryan (Croydon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This, the third in this continuing series of Buffy graphic novels (republished from the monthly "comics"), is a wild ride through the world of the vampire slayers and their enemies. But the question remains: who are the bad guys?
Although you don't have to have seen all the TV shows (and I would recommend that you do), these volumes have to be read in order, otherwise some of the more specialized references may pass you by. I would caution new readers to approach each chapter as if they were watching the television show - i.e. leave a gap between each to let the detail sink in.
For readers who have not watched any of the shows: what are you waiting for? Buy or rent the boxed sets, wallow in the quality of Joss Wheedon's imaginings and then read on. I can't wait for Volume 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buffy season 8 continues to shine in its darkly comical way, 8 Jan 2009
By S. J. Pinder "scifihorror fan" (Cornwall,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Long Way Home gave us fans the set up for how the season will go about things, No Future For You was a fantastic and frantic step up from the norm with an excellent faith orientated plotline.
now Wolves At The Gate gathers far, far more momentum and becomes one of its own with grande epic proportions,bodies flung at gleeful abandon and death defying stunts that not even the highest budget for tv could pull off.
yes this graphic novel is a fantastic character driven epic that involves a lot of the main cast (minus faith and Giles unfortunately but they will be back)including Andrew and Dracula in his second appearance on the show,he and Xander provide the laughs.
the art is derivative and Buffy develops her character further in an unlikely relationship...also Willow has grown depth as a character over the past few volumes and is now a strong wicca.
this is a must for definate fans along with No Future For you and Long Way Home...season 8 is just like the show,EXCEPTIONAL.
