Contents |
Giles has been Buffy's Watcher now for four years. He becomes involved in a solo adventure when the Watcher, Michaela Tomasi, notifies him of the death of his former mentor, Archie Lassiter. This draws him back to England. He finds out that the Watchers' Council is guarding a dark secret, which may cause the resurrection of the dark Elder Gods. Though the Council does not want his help, Giles might be the one person who can prevent disaster.
Supposed to be set in Buffy season 4, after "This Year's Girl" but before "Superstar."
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.
