Advanced Preview - Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer

Buffy Summers makes her final stand...

BOOM! Studios have given a look into their upcoming title - Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer, a brand new four-issue comic book series out December 2021.

Heading up this new series is acclaimed writer Casey Gilly (Femme Magnifique, You Died) and artist Joe Jaro (Firefly). The duo's take on the famous Slayer will come I'm the form of a dystopian tale about Buffy, like you’ve never seen her before.

'In a world ruled by darkness, Buffy Summers is the last Slayer. A magical catastrophe has ended the Slayer line and nearly blotted out the sun, allowing vampires to prey on humanity unimpeded. Now in her 50s, Buffy wages a desperate one-woman fight against the forces of evil. That is, until she stumbles across something she hasn’t seen in a long time – hope, in the form of a prophecy and the young girl who carries it...'

It's been such a privilege to tell a story from Buffy's mid-life years. We so often see women in their 50’s being overlooked, but our Slayer refuses to become convenient and invisible. I hope fans who, like me, grew up with teenage Buffy and now find themselves approaching middle age, can see their current selves in her--someone heroic, wise, and maybe just a little bit salty. There is so much I'm excited for with this series, but I truly cannot wait for y'all to see the gorgeous work Joe Jaro has done bringing BUFFY THE LAST VAMPIRE SLAYER to the page. He is incredible!” said Gilly.

I've been a fan of Buffy and the Buffyverse since my school days. It was a great mix of action, horror, and comedy. I'm so excited to now be able to draw Buffy and the rest of the Scooby gang, and add our own twist to her story as a creative team,” said Jaro.

“The Buffy Summers you meet in this series is a hardened warrior who has reached an age no one ever thought a Slayer would live to see, but it’s cost her too much along the way,” said Elizabeth Brei, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Casey and Joe perfectly capture the iconic hero’s indomitable spirit and reveal a side of Buffy we’ve never seen before in this limited series that changes the future of the Buffyverse forever!”

Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer is set to hit shelves in December 2021.
