[edit] Story description
Two mysterious sisters, Lilith and Lamia, arrive in Sunnydale and bring along some nasty beasts. Buffy tries to find out who or what they are. This plan is complicated when one of the sisters takes a liking to Angel. The sisters turn out to be ancient vampires; each hopes to bring a champion to town to fight to death in a magical ritual called the Dust Waltz. The Waltz involves ritual murder, blood drinking, an opened Hellmouth, and apocalypse. Meanwhile the Scooby Gang shows Giles's niece the town.

- The first ever Buffyverse comic. It appeared only as a graphic novel, rather than in comic format.
- Introduces Giles' niece, whom Xander likes.
[edit] Continuity
- Supposed to be set in Buffy Season 2.
[edit] Canonical issues
- Buffy 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 as the first two stories in the trade paperback:
