[edit] Plot summary
When dead guys start turning up as soon as the Moon family appears in Sunnydale Buffy knows that something is wrong. Mo, the mother, and her two daughters, Calli and Polly, all go to Sunnydale High. Within several days Calli and Polly have attracted a huge crowd of females. The Moons are trying to create a "Womyn Power" group at the school that basically detests guys for even living. Willow gets pulled into the group and Buffy resolves to stop the Moons before they brainwash all the girls and turn all the guys into blithering idiots.

[edit] Continuity
- Supposed to be set late in Buffy Season 3. This is one of the many of the Buffy novels set in an alternative Buffy Season 3 (more specifically Spring 1999 in the Buffyverse). They tend to break established Buffyverse canon in any or all of the following four ways: (1) The threat of the Mayor and Faith is not a major concern. (2) Xander and Cordelia remain an item. (3) Buffy and Angel remain an item. (4) Giles accepts Angel.
[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.
