  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, vol. 3: Wolves at the Gate - Collects #11-15? "Vampires that, at will, can transform into wolves, panthers, insects, or fog invade the Slayer base of operations in northern Scotland, and not only walk away unscathed, but in possession of Buffy’s scythe, the symbol of Slayer power worldwide.

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, vol. 4: Time of Your Life - Collects #16-20?

Buffy is propelled into a dystopian future where there's only one Slayer -- Fray, the title character of Joss Whedon's 2001 series, the first comic he ever wrote. Their uneasy alliance falls apart, leading to the death of a major character from the TV series, while back in the twenty-first century, the Scotland base falls prey to a mystical bomb courtesy of the Biggest Bad-Twilight." - WorldCat - ISBN 1595823107
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, vol. 5: Predators and Prey - Collects #21-25, plus short stories from MySpace Dark Horse Presents.

Humans line up to have their blood consumed, and Slayers, through a series of missteps, misfortunes, and anti-Slayer propaganda driven by the mysterious Twilight, are forced into hiding. In Germany, Faith and Giles discover a town where Slayers retreat from a world that has turned against them, only to find themselves in the arms of something far worse. A rogue-Slayer faction displaces an entire Italian village, living up to their tarnished reputation as power-hungry thieves. And finally, with the help of a would-be demon lover, Dawn addresses her unfaltering insecurities." - WorldCat - ISBN 1595823425
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, vol. 6: Retreat - Collects #26-30. "Now that it’s the world against Slayers, Buffy must find a way to return the status quo to... status quo—and keep her girls alive long enough to do it! Enter Oz, the only person/werewolf Buffy knows who is down with the suppression of magic, and can take the Slayer army off of Twilight’s magic-specific radar. With Oz’s assistance, the Slayers and Wiccans try to become 'normal' through meditation and hard labor—although, not everyone sees the advantage of being magicless, namely, Willow, Giles, and Andrew. And they could be right. After all, is a peaceful life for a Slayer even possible?" - WorldCat - ISBN 1595824154 - (forthcoming, March 2010)
