"Poor Xander"? Poor vampires, you mean. They've done messed with Dracula's manservant. That can get you very seriously killed. If anyone ever doubted there was a bond between these two, there's no doubt now. Evil he may be, and utterly unforgiving of his enemies, but Dracula remains always loyal to family and friends.

yeah, Dracula's gonna bring on the pain!
OMG! Poor Xander, I teared up at Renee's monologue, especially the small "I'm so scared."

Yay, finally, we get to learn more about Willow's lost year.
 
Any thoughts on who the vampire is that Xander kills in the pencilled page? Is it Toru? Or Dracula? Cause it looks like the vampire first hands Xander a sword, and then Xander kills him.
 
I would guess it's Toru cos I don't think it would be Dracula. Although it's hard to tell what's happening.
 
Ironic, isn't it, that after trying to leave Satsu behind in the previous issue, Buffy now trusts her to take command while she goes after Willow. (And I'm still hoping that Willow can revive Renee somehow.)


And, as to who it is that Xander decapitates, it looks like Dracula handing him his sword, so I would say that it's Toru who gets dusted.
 
WOWZA! This issue looks GREAT! Renee "dying," Dracula finally getting into the action, Buffy about to jump off a building, and, best of all, some badass witch fighting! I just read it and thought, "UGGGGH I NEED MORE!" Is it June 7th yet?!

There's been some speculation about making Renee a vamp with a soul, and it sort of looks like Dracula's thinking of turning her. Maybe we'll finally get to see what a vamp-slash-slayer is like! The suspense is KILLING me!
 
did anyone see i cant leave him alone i wont leave him alone that buffy said that is a far cry form the women the step over his bleeding body to check on spike. could xander and buffy become closer or is it going to be a buffy and willow that are a couple.

Yeah cause this Buffy is written far better 😉 The writers actually remembered that Buffy is best friends with Xander and her life doesn't revolve around a certain bleached vamp. That was an inexcusable scene.

This whole thing looks amazing! I can't wait for this issue, it was amazing seeing all the different things going on in this issue. I won't repeat everything I've said on other forums in such detail but the things I loved;

1) Buffy's loyalty to Xander. It put a huge smile on my face to hear her tell everyone to group around him. She didn't order him to get up, she just made sure he was covered so he could grieve. And I adored how she flat out refused to leave him initially.

2) The snake lady is back! If there's one other thing besides Renee's death that completely took me by surprise, it was that this arc would progress Willow's development this season. Didn't see that coming, it's a very pleasent surprise! Can't wait to find out what Willow is running from and can't wait to find out what her 'ascending' actually entails.

3) Renee's narration was incredibly sad. Reminded me a lot of Fred as she tried to hold on. And I think her "remember the first rule" is in reference to Buffy saying to Faith in 'Faith, Hope & Trick' "First rule of slaying, don't die!"

4) Dracula is an evil bastard I still believe that, he hasn't shown me anything to believe otherwise. But this doesn't mean he isn't capable of his own kind of love, evident in other vamps like James, Elizabeth, Spike, Dru and Harmony. And I couldn't help but smile when he says Xander isn't alone.

When did Buffy do that, I don't remember

Yeah got to say that's one of the reasons she wasn't my favourite character anymore by then. Not just the stepping over him scene, but Spike this and Spike that. I might be bias cause i didn't mind it when Angel was around, but oh well 😛
This preview totally rocked, can't wait to get the rest of the issue. Seems like the snake lady must be connected with the slayer spell.. hence the scythe being there.
 
I dislike when a character is too obsessed with another character. Like Spike's obsession with Buffy, Anya's obsession with Xander, it's so annoying. Don't you guys have a life beside your love interests?

That's why I enjoy Buffy, Xander and Willow's side of the relationship. They seem more real than their lovers.

yeah.. possibly why I didn't like Anya at first
Oi just realized how lame my comment about the snake lady was now. Seems like the city is NY which would connect with where Fray goes in her story in Tales. So might be snake woman is connected to the slayer spell, or she's just showing Willow where to go next.. or where she'll be going.
