How did Buffy allow Xander being an evil Vampire's man-bitch for a full year? I know!!! In the series, if she finds out one of her friends is missing, she goes after them straight away. There must be circumstances!

Could this be yet another instance of Buffy doing something not so nice for the greater good?

I'm a bit late, but thanks for posting this. It seemed like at the end of #12 there was more to the whole Dracula thing than they had shown in the one episode with him. It didn't make sense why they would automatically turn to Xander when the subject got brought up. Especially since Buffy was the one that Drac really had the control over. But this clears all that up, thanks!

It definitely looks like it takes place after Wolves At the Gate. Oh, and the dark horse page for issue fifteen says that the slayers will take a massive hit. Losing Xander to Drac would be pretty massive, me thinks. Clicky

Eternal connection? I don't like the sound of that.
Drac drunk Buffy's blood, Buffy drank his. .... Suddenly all the fanfiction about vampire claiming seems more realistic.

Heya, erm new here (ish) have been lurking forEVER. lol. Well most of S8. Only just made an account. So, lets get down to buisness. How do i pimp my messages (sig n avatar) i cant find how to do it.
(assuming this short, IS canon) People are saying that Xander staying with drac for a year, how will the comics cope with a missing Xander? How comes Buffy didnt save him earlier? Well combine the fact we know the slayers "take a hit" during issue 15. And combine the front cover of issue 16. What if...
*spoilers*
Buffy spends four issues in the future with Fray, but when she returns, more time has passed, like in a hell dimension, to her, only a month, to the people she left, she may of been gone that full year.
Anyway i think im rambling, i just wanted to post an idea that connects the dots that we know from past present and future.

That's highly possible. I still think that Antique happens previous to the series, because otherwise, why send Xander in particular to talk to Dracula?

I know at the time it was "canon" but, since season 8 has started, has Joss kinda confirmed AGAIN that tales of the slayers/vamps are canon and fit in with the S8.

I read somewhere that he went back to Sunny Dale to visit where Anya had died, and ended up with Dracula somehow.

Here...
Following Sunnydale's destruction, Xander took a "leave of absence" from the Scooby Gang to mourn Anya's death.[13] He may have spent some time in Africa,[15] and eventually reunited with Dracula. Xander resumed his old position as the vampire's loyal manservant, living with him in his Transylvanian castle for several months, during which the pair offered each other company and Xander taught Dracula how to ride a motorcycle.[16][13] Buffy eventually tracked her friend down and showed up at Dracula's castle with two other Slayers in a bid to rescue him, but the brainwashed Xander remained loyal to his "master" and tried to fight them off. Eventually, Dracula admitted that Xander belonged with his friends, and, after an emotional farewell, released him from his trance.[16] Xander returned to the Scooby Gang, which had expanded into a worldwide organisation, and took on a Watcher-like role leading various

That's the story of Antique any ways.

Can anyone tell me exactly how you obtain information months and months before this shit comes out? I saw a thread regarding, "What's up with Dawn", referring to issue 16 going back to January of 2008. That is a full 5 months prior to the release, so how did you do it? And the thread with Dracula being canon from another comic, how is this possible? Why wasn't the Buffyverse informed of this prior to the release of issue 12??? Ok, here's an example. Yes, I've seen the cover of Buffy for issue 20 but I know nothing else about that issue. Yet someone somewhere will find pages of it and post it on the internet, or will post a web address and allow access to the info but who is releasing this stuff so early?

This is the absolute first time I have seen that comic by Drew Goddard (the one above) and I have to agree with the ones who say Dracula is referring to spending a year with Xander. "It was the best year of my life" It's like when someone says 1990 was the best year of my life. They are referring to an entire year, not just 3 months or 6 months within that year.
So now when did Xander move in with Dracula? Was it how soon after the fall of Sunnydale? Yea, I know it's not important but still very cool to discuss. Dracula in love...with Xander? Just best buds? Way too funny!!! Can someone at least tell me when Drew wrote that Buffy comic?

Thanks for posting this! It made the whole Dracula, Manservant, Old Man, one year thing a lot easier to understand in Wolves at the Gate.
