Maybe Drac doesn't want competition from these other wolf/vamps, and joins the Scoobies in trying to take them out?
I REALLY REALLY hope its not Willow/Xander to be the betrayer, that would suck, and I would totally shun the Season 8 comics...ok maybe not.

ok, I have an idea, but I may be way off my game. In the Slay Alive interview with Scott Allie, he said Oz was going to return. Well, this is "Wolves at the Gate". The could also mean that Oz is coming. Not even one of the blurbs does it mention Dracula. It just says that Xander must recruit someone from the past. And hasn't it been done in other comic books, where they replace the person that actually is gonna be in it, with someone less important on the covers to keep it a secret. So i'm thinking, what if Dracula isn't even in it. And what if Oz is the reall person on the cover? Again I might be way off my game, but I'm hopeful!

I think that you are right for two reasons first for the word wolves indicates that there will be a possible involvement of werewolves and the second reason being that i have read somewhere that the dracula covers are fake and that some other person will be placed in his space.

If that were true, Jeanty would have to take DOUBLE the time he usually would on an issue in order to redo a cover. I wouldn't mind knowing where you heard that theory, because it sounds inprobable.

Has it been confirmed yet that that is Buffy and Willow in the background of the cover with Xander. If so, why is Willow in a cape?

I heard it on darkhorse's buffy zone and why not?I mean it might be a pubicity trick that would gain even more attention to the comic, i think that this has happened in an other comic book series some way back , cant recall which

I don't see it going that far, making Jeanty produce two extra "false" covers, nor why Darkhorse would need a publicity trick to sell Buffy comics since for issue #12 they released an advisory to stock extras because of some surprise.

I can't wait to see how they introduce Dracula and have him help them in some way. My guess is maybe these vamp/wolf people were sired by Dracula or are connected to him in some way and are up to something that he isn't very fond of (he can turn into a world ya'know). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Not to mention the whole "Dracula will appear and 'Antique' will be addressed" thing that was said in Fall 2007.

I hope to god they're not going to do that campy bait and switch thing. I wouldn't stop reading over that, but it would annoy me in a way I can't express.
Not that I don't like Oz, but plot wise, Dracula would be more interesting. I'd like to see Oz, but I want to see it done right.

I'm of the opposite opinion...I personally would love it if that was the case and Oz was in Dracula's place. Oz is a well written, original character where as Dracula is a campy take on someone elses (and one of the show's lower points)... but they definately won't be doing that. They wouldn't go through the trouble of mocking up two covers just to hide what isn't even much of a twist.
Allie said Dracula would be back and here he is. I trust them, I'm sure it'll be interesting. Personally I think it'd be kind of cool that if out of all the vampire lore about Dracula he's sort of a good guy in this series.

He mostly just seems like a lonely, bored fellow.

After reading "Antique" I have to agree with you there. His comments to Buffy about age were spot on, I think (although I do have to wonder why that concept didn't apply to The Master or Kakistos).

In an email from Cinequest today they said that issue #13 would be out on May 7th...I checked the Darkhorse website and it still says April 2nd...so I'm hoping that Cinequest made a mistake. It would suck if they took a month off in the middle of an arc...I would rather wait a month for #12 then place a month between 12 and 13.

I'd like to see Oz, but I want to see it done right. Me too! Oz is too good of a character to have a weak comeback and and then just leave again. It needs to be unexpected and awesome!! Just like Oz!
