Comicsalliance.com Buffy : Season 8"Buffy : Season 8" Comic Book - Down for the Count : Dracula’s Greatest Comics AppearancesWednesday 14 October 2009, by Webmaster Buffy the Vampire Slayer Dracula Dracula’s appearance on Buffy the Vampire Slayer — a season-opener designed to make viewers think he was the villain of a major arc before Buffy soundly defeated him at the end of the episode — is one of the true highlights of the series.

But what do you expect? Dude eats people! Rating : 5/10 Click on the link for more : http://www.comicsalliance.com/2009/10/13/down-for-the-count-draculas-greatest-comics-appearances/ |
