- We're all a little queer
There are enough reviews describing the narrative and art work. I want to address the backlash against Buffy's experimental phase.
There are enough raunchy scenes out there to titilate the mainstream breeders of America.
Give us this bone and let Buffy enjoy some really out of character T&A. Lesbians and celibate geek boys unite!
Rating: - The Peak of Buffy Goodness
I thought this series took some time to get started, much like a TV show. But this volume is just great! It starts with a very good story by Joss Wheadon and passed the scythe to Drew Goddard for the rest of the books. Mr. Goddard really knows Buffy and he certainly know how to tell a good story.

While the previous two volumes of Season Eight have been good, it's with Wolves at the Gate that the series finally hits its stride. No longer full of exposition about what's been going on between the end of the show and the beginning of the comic book continuation, we're finally in a phase of full-on showing the new stuff.
The new arc features the return of Dracula (it's not much of a spoiler: he's on the cover), and nicely follows up on his previous appearance on the show, and presents ... Read More
Rating: - Nice Product
This third installation in Joss Whedon's Season 8 of his highly influential [cult] classic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has more silly humor, shocking character development, and painful tragedy than the first two volumes.Before [writer] Drew Goddard's main story--which sees Buffy's Scotland squad in Tokyo--begins, Joss Whedon pens an important stand alone issue in which Buffy finally comes face to face with her new nemesis.Georges Jeanty's art is as compelling as always, and though [series cover artist] ...
