Wolves at the Gate

"Wolves at the Gate" is the third story arc of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight series of comic books, a continuation of the television series of the same name, and is written by Drew Goddard.

Plot
Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Dawn travel to Tokyo to slay vampires with unusual, yet strangely familiar, powers.

Writing and Artwork
Writer Drew Goddard previously worked for the television series' last season, penning numerous episodes such as "Selfless", "Conversations with Dead People", and "Dirty Girls".

Canonical issues


This series has been described as 'canon' by both Whedon and various commentators. As the creator of Buffy, Joss Whedon's association with Buffyverse story is often linked to how canonical the various stories are. Since Whedon is writing this story, it will be seen as a continuation of the official continuity established by Buffy and Angel.

This may mean it contradicts information given in the previously released non-canonical Queen of the Slayers, and it could potentially contradict the upcoming novel, Dark Congress.

Timing

 * Intended to be set after BtVS's seventh season. The precise timing of this arc is currently uncertain.


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