[edit] Story description

A new clubbing experience is emerging in Sunnydale. DJs are mixing up music, drugs, and blood. One of Spike's old friends is encouraging teens in Sunnydale at some underground raves. He hopes to transform the way vampires can experience the joys of blood-drinking. Buffy and the Scooby gang try to stop this euphoric feeding, before it is too late for Dawn and others.


[edit] Withdrawal

[edit] Continuity

  • Supposed to be in Buffy Season 6, before Withdrawal. Takes place after the tv-episode All The Way and before the episode Doublemeat Palace[citation needed].

[edit] Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon
Buffy/Angel comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.

[edit] Timing

  • Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:
