  <default_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!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I want to be more curious about the overall arc in the Buffy comics and the identity and nature of the villain, Twilight, but I haven't gotten hooked on that aspect of the series yet.  (I will keep reading, though.)  I love all the silly sexy stuff in this volume of the comic (Buffy's lesbian fling,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41898127">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The series, Whedon's &quot;8th season&quot; of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in comic book form, continues to be fun, rivetting and all around excellent. I'd love to have been able to watch this season in place of one of the later seasons of Buffy, because the Whedon touch is evident throughout.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39526549">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Buffy Season Eight continues. Wolves at the Gate one had an interesting idea: vampires in Japan have taken Dracula's powers and use them to steal the Slayer scythe.
