Synopsis:
We get re-acquainted with some old friends.
Giles, apparently, has re-started the Watcher's Council, only this time there's only one Watcher, but hundreds of Slayers-in-training.
Buffy is also busy training (trouncing) her squad at the Scotland HQ.
Andrew is busy with his Italian Slayer Squad.
And Giant Dawn takes a bath.
Meanwhile, General Voll is contemplating using tactical nukes as a method of dealing with the Slayers (and he's not even remotely joking). He also wears a "setting sun, rising star" scar much like the demon victims in issue #1.
Elsewhere, Buffy kisses Xander, making his head pop off.
We soon realize stuck in a dream induced state, the first wave of an attack instigated by Amy the Witch. The second wave involves....
...lots and lots of kilt-wearing zombies. I kid you not.
The Queen Slayer is down and out, zombies are invading the Castle HQ. One would lose all hope if not for the appearance of...
Willow, the Uber-witch. I smell a Wiccan Battle Royale!
Stay tuned for Issue #3!
Key Plot Points
- Xander suspects Dawn made herself giant on purpose, perhaps to get Buffy's attention.
- Andrew's appearance in the comic is too funny to summarize. Worth the price of the comic alone.
- Depictions of Buffy's dreamspace is identified with black borders.
- Did Buffy and Xander have a "friends-with-benefits" thing going on in the recent past, or is this just a part of Buffy's dream?
- Which beg's the question: Why is Buffy dreaming about sexing Xander?
- Amy announces that her spell on Buffy can only be broken with the Kiss of True Love. Seems that Amy prefers casting spells that require kisses to be broken (see Season 7 episode "The Killer In Me").
- Xander's paramour, Renee, takes a zombie sword to the back.
- Willow can fly!

Totally unrelated to the Buffy Comic, but I thought you should know that your candidate (Senator Obama) is well on his way to the Whitehouse (as opposed to my candidate, Mrs. Clinton - can't a woman get any respect? She's also a senator, too!).
Hey, watch you language! Senator Clinton just took New Mexico (woo hoo?). It's a battle to be sure. Michelle Obama was in the NYTimes today -- they ask such dumb questions some times. She was pretty clear, though, that if Hillary won, she'd have to think twice about supporting her. Yeah, Michelle - you going to endorse McCain? Anyway, no need for a reply, just thought you should be keeping up on American politics, where, no matter how you slice it, Bush won't be in office next year.
Great Buffy reviews! :)

As a white person toying with the notion of maybe, one day, possibly moving to Canada, I found this hilarious.
