Synopsis[]
When Joss Whedon saw the final copy of the first Spike and Dru, he said, "This is what the comic should look like every month!" We decided that called for a sequel. On their way to Sunnydale, the demonic duo stop off in sultry St. Louis, to try their hands at some riverboat gambling. They soon learn, however, that their rest and relaxation isn't quite as peaceful as they'd hoped![1]
