The humor is back, hurray! This felt more like part of the Buffy TV series in tone: humor on the surface, but depth in the story. The scenes in Buffy's bedroom, between Zander with Drac, and with Dawnie/Godzilla Dawn, are all terrific! Action, heart and humor, the Buffy formula. The drawings between the chapters and at the end are not quite as spectacular as in the previous volume, but still quite enjoyable. I'm really appreciating the art in these books.

Joss Whedon's resurrection of the 8th Buffy Season continues with its third installment, which is called Wolves at the Gate. As with the two earlier volumes, this one captures all the humor and action that made the show so popular in the first place. The writing and illustrating team have done a wonderful job of bringing back old characters and allowing them to shine as they interact with the standard regular.

The action starts, literally, with wolves at the gate, only they are not alone. They ar...more

Finally catching up to "Buffy, Season Eight." They had a ball in this one doing stuff the TV show's special effects budget wouldn't have allowed, like Giant Dawn vs. Mecha-Dawn. That was the funniest part of the battle in Tokyo against a gang of shapechanging Japanese vampires. Also, the banter between Xander and Dracula was cute.

That was the funniest part of the battle in Tokyo against a gang of shapechanging Japanese vampires. Also, the banter between Xander and Dracula was cute.

Otherwise, this is what I would have called an "average" episode if it were airing on TV: good but not outstanding, though it did move the plot arc forward a bit. Overall, I thought the bad guys' plan was defeated a bit too swiftly considering the scale of it (take away the powers of all the Slayers in the world!), and the self-conscious satirizing of every Japanese fanboy trope they could stuff into the "Buffy goes to Tokyo" episode got a little wearing. Good that the Japanese vampires acted like modern smart-asses and weren't all "Let's pretend we're ninja or samurai or some other medieval bullshit," bad that they acted like Western smart-asses with pretty much the same sense of style and humor. (Seriously, why would they build a Mecha-Dawn just to fight a giant teenager?)

The adherence to Whedon's style and use of "Buffyisms" sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, but for the most part I liked the dialog and the banter. And they did what they also might not have been able to get away with on TV: Buffy decides to "experiment" with another girl. So, this could have totally read as titillating lesbian action for the male reader (especially since it's the hot Japanese Slayer she sleeps with) and I'm sure a lot of readers read it that way, but humorous bits aside, it's actually dealt with in a fairly realistic way, which is to say, it ends messily and uncertainly since, as Buffy admits before they start, she's really not gay. I'm not sure if this would please or further incense all the Buffy fans who were furious when Whedon killed off Tara.

Speaking of killing people off, everyone knows the Whedon Law of Happy Relationships, right? You'd think by now everyone on the Buffy crew would know that two people falling happily in love is a guaranteed death sentence for at least one of them.(less)

I'd be hard press to decide between Vaughan and Goddard, both having done my favourite shows or comic respectively, but also worked in shows I don't like where their work seemed boring, but as I said in TPB 2, this 3rd volume is more amusing, funnier (but not in a bad way). So here are wonderful moments with Andrew, badly drawn but just like in the show, and Dracula, absolutely hilarious in his racist, homocidal fashion. Lots to love and laugh.

Si comincia con Uno splendido tramonto, storia scritta da Whedon in cui scopriamo chi ha dato il bacio del vero amore a Buffy, nell’episodio precedente, per risvegliarla dalla maledizione. E vediamo come reagisce Buffy a questa rivelazione…
Fa il suo ingresso in scena, poi, Twilight. Non il gruppo, già comparso nei primi due volumi, ma proprio il grande capo (o così sembra). Vola, è enormemente forte e rapido, e sopratutto sembra conoscere benissimo la storia di Buffy. Troppo bene. Deve per forza essere qualcuno dal suo passato, si capisce chiaramente e Whedon gioca su questo quando per un paio di vignette fa sembrare pronto Twilight a togliersi la maschera davanti ai suoi soci… solo per voltare pagina con lo stesso che dice “Scusate, mi prudeva (il collo). Cosa stavo dicendo?” mentre si riabbassa la maschera.
Conosce Buffy e sembra ben consapevole di doverla combattere a livello emotivo… chi diavolo sarà? Avrei pensato a Angel, se non fosse che mi sembra la sua serie sia ancora in corso. Altrimenti penserei a Riley…
Si scopre poi che ci sono delle cacciatrici ribelli che si stanno divertendo a rapinare e uccidere, un problemuccio di cui Buffy dovrà occuparsi prima che queste attirino su tutte loro l’attenzione e gli attacchi degli umani.

Poi passiamo all’arco che dà il titolo al volume, Lupi alle porte.
Xander e Renee si avvicinano sempre di più e ormai è chiaro che facciano coppia. Willow rientra alla base portando con se Andrew, e il castello è vittima di un nuovo attacco. Willow è tenuta impegnata da una strega giapponese, Kumiko, mentre un esercito di vampiri in grado di trasformarsi in nebbia o in animali impazza per i corridoi, imbattibile. Tutto un diversivo per consentire ai due leader di recuperare la falce di Buffy, che per via dei loro poteri non riesce a fermarli.
Immediato e obbligatorio il contrattacco delle nostre, che rintracciano il gruppo di vampiri e volano in Giappone… solo per scoprire una loro Cacciatrice barbaramente uccisa, e venire a sapere che con la falce e un potente incantesimo questi vampiri intendono togliere i poteri a tutte le cacciatrici.
Xander nel frattempo, dati i poteri di questi vampiri, va a cercare l’aiuto dell’unico vampiro di cui si fosse a conoscenza ad avere manifestato tali doti: Dracula. Splendidi gli scambi di battute tra i due, splendida l’atmosfera che si crea e l’effetto che ha Xander sul vecchio vampiro. Con Renee terzo incomodo nella loro relazione assurda.
Scopriamo così che Dracula aveva perso i suoi poteri unici contro quei vampiri giocandoseli per vincere una moto, e ora è desideroso di riprenderseli accusandoli di avere barato. Probabilmente vero, ma sicuramente tutto è fatto per stare con Xander e sentirsi nuovamente all’apice delle forze.
Bella la battaglia, meraviglioso vedere Tokyo devastata dallo scontro tra una ragazzina gigante e la sua controparte robotica dotata di coda. Grandiosa Buffy contro Kumiko, inquietante e leggendario Dracula che affronta il suo avversario armato di spada, ricordandogli che era una delle persone più letali al mondo ben prima di diventare un vampiro.
E toccante, tristissima la seconda vittima di questa guerra, colpita a tradimento alle spalle. Commoventi le sue ultime vignette, le sue ultime didascalie.

This is Whedon, gente.
Tanto di cappello.(less)

This was probably the funniest volume of the series. Andrew's presence in this really helped contribute to the humor in this installment; the dynamic he brings is just unlike any character.
This installment is clear evidence of why I've always loved the character of Buffy. She is always a strong role model and female character despite the fact that she is never perfect. She makes mistakes and feels insecure like any other young woman and yet is such a natural-born leader and role model. Seeing t...more

This volume was so entirely Joss Whedon to a T. He still hates happiness. And Buffy still likes leading folks on, thus the song for today. Anyone surprised? But seriously, why does Joss believe that happy couples should never be allowed to actually remain happy? Either someone has to become a jackass and not marry that person, or sex turns someone evil, or one of the two has to die. There are no other options in the Whedon-verse. Sigh. So if you're coming to a Whedon show for the sweet romances,...more

But well after the seventh season they had to come up with something weird as this season was already strange. The only reason why I suffer through the seventh season each time is Spike and I kind of feel like that while reading the comic.

Falling into that realm of side stories that often proved extremely entertaining within the larger arc of the show...or drastically dismal, this foray into the Buffyverse fell somewhere in between. Characterized by moments of hilarity - Willow's flying transportation service being one - and moments of horror (the death of a Slayer still freaks me out, even though there are now thousands of them), the overall tone of the story felt off to my Innate Buffy Sense (IBS).

This book begins with the one-off comic “A Beautiful Sunset,” which is largely exposition. It’s a short exploration of Buffy’s anxiety and isolation as the leader and figurehead of the new slayer army, but it also continues two important plot threads: an explanation of where the slayers get their wealth and material resources (and the first rumblings of the consequences thereof), and Buffy’s first direct confrontation with “Twilight,” complete with motive-laden monologue and a surprise ass-kicking. We also learn who it was that awoke Buffy with true love’s kiss in the last volume, which quickly becomes important.

The “Wolves at the Gate” arc starts with a literal pack of wolves at the gate, which quickly resolves itself as a cabal of Japanese vampires who can shapeshift and fade into mist, abilities supposedly reserved for the ancient vampire Dracula. These mysterious vampires overrun the castle’s defenses and make off with the Scythe. Buffy and the rest recruit none other than Dracula himself to help track them down in Tokyo, before they fulfill whatever dark purpose they have in mind.

After two volumes that seemed ponderous and disjointed to me, Goddard wrote a Buffy book that finally conjured the show’s original spirit. The characters in the comics have always felt genuine, but this time around, the dialogue had all of the familiar beats and the climactic battle was appropriately zany while still carrying thematic weight. This arc is as self-contained as the first two, but there is plenty of movement on the larger plot. The Scoobies take on and vanquish the villain of the week, but interpersonal conflict nibbles at the edges, and the Big Bad lurks ever closer. Best of all, the inclusion of Dracula worked magnificently. I hated Dracula in the show, but not only is he extremely funny here, but the apparent relationship that has sprung up between him and his “ghoul” Xander between the show and the comics (and Buffy’s tolerance of that relationship) is legitimately interesting.

Jeanty’s art seems to polarize readers, but I’m still enjoying it. It’s functional and easy to follow when it needs to be, particularly during the action sequences, but it’s frequently evocative and beautiful as well. He continues to walk a fine line between drawing the actors from television series and putting his own artistic slant on the characters. While I find some of the characters hard to recognize (Andrew, in particular), Jeanty draws them all consistently, and that's what really counts.

When I finished the book, I figured that people would have some problems with the more over-the-top elements of this arc, and was proved correct when I skimmed a few other reviews. I’m not going to spoil anything here, but suffice it to say that I think people are being a bit hypercritical. Buffy’s surprising romantic liaison makes perfect sense in context of her character arc and the pattern of her past relationships. Dawn’s appearance in the Tokyo battle is no less bizarre or punny than past episodic battles (remember: this is the villain of the week we’re talking about, not the Big Bad), and while it can come off as a bit culturally insensitive, I considered it a nice counterpoint to Dracula’s casual old-world racism. And the character death in this arc did feel a bit tacked on and gratutitous, but come on, everyone. This is what Joss does. I barely even notice it anymore.

This book isn’t really perfect, as comics go, and it certainly doesn’t say anything profound as a piece of comic literature. But I ripped through this one on a lazy weekend, enjoying every page, and was left with the impression that I had just watched an unreleased and particularly interesting episode of the show. That’s everything I could possibly ask for from a Buffy comic. My faith is restored.(less)

I don't think Buffy would suddenly just sleep with a girl like she did. There was no real build up to it. I never got the sense in this comic or in the TV series that she was even curious about such a thing. It makes me think that the authors did this just to do it. Maybe in the hopes of being on edge and all that stuff. If they had taken the time to properly build up to it, I would be fine. We don't even get a scene where she contemplates that she might be interested in the girl. Nor do we get scene where there is seduction going on. The last we see them, their recovering from wounds and then bam, naked in bed together.

I have another problem with Buffy. She seems like she's where she started in season 7. It's almost like she's re-learning everything. There are more lighthearted moments with her, though, but it's like the authors can't decide how they want her to be. The two sides of her don't meld together well.

Dawn is also suffering from lack of character growth. She too seems to have reverted back to what she was in season five. Buffy and Dawn's realtionship also hasn't grown from where I felt it was when the series ended. I understand that since the series was ending, they had to wrap up things to a certain extent, but there's no need to have these character's stunted.

Speaking of Dawn, how long is she going to be a giant? To me it's starting to break my suspension of disbelief. Which given all the plot lines I've read, is pretty sad. I understand it adds a bit of humor, but doing that for so long, really cheapens Dawn further. Maybe since she had battle with Mecha-Dawn over Tokyo, they'll finally stop with this giant nonsense.

Some of Dracula's lines didn't seem to fit the character. At least, I thought so. My husband felt differently.

I'm not sure about the overall plot line about ridding the world of magic. In Whendon's other comic about a future slayer, part of the background is that there is hardly any magic left. So at some point, the depletion of magic happens. Whether or not it happens at the end of season 8, though, I don't know yet. Still, it kinda takes something away from it.

What I did like was Xander and Willow. To me, they are the only characters in the third trade to have growth. I didn't the see reason to kill off Xander's potential love interest. Not that I cared for her so much, but it was still a crappy thing to do. I'd rather get to know the character that's supposed to be the love interest. I guess since she was killed off, it doesn't matter.

I must sound like I really hated it, but I did enjoy parts of it. I wish instead of showing groups of girls, we had time to get to know a few. But Buffy's gal is staying in Japan and Xander's was killed. I think it needs to start focusing more on the main characters. Maybe others feel that they are doing that. (less)

The great genius idea in the stand-alone comes at the end, after giving us some important details about how Buffy awakened from the sleeping beauty curse.
