Past Lives, Part Two is the twenty-ninth issue of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic comic book series. Written by Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski, and illustrated by Christian Zanier and Cliff Richards, it was originally published on January 31, 2001, by Dark Horse Comics.

Synopsis[]

In part two of the Buffy/Angel crossover, "Past Lives," Cordelia and Wesley are both in the hospital and Angel is on the run. And the mysterious demon hunter continues her vendetta against him. Meanwhile, monsters are fleeing the carnage in L.A. and seeking refuge in Sunnydale, where they're being dealt with by the Slayer. Buffy, Giles, and the gang learn about the havoc, and Buffy determines that she must go to Angel's side to lend a hand; a decision that does not sit at all well with Buffy's vampire-hunting boyfriend, Riley.[1]
