But the Slayer’s world looks a lot more like the one outside your window, as this new series brings her into a new era with new challenges, new friends…and a few enemies you might already recognize (including fan-favorite Drusilla’s debut as THE MISTRESS).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text 0=””]The more things change, the more they stay the same, as the Gang – Giles, Willow, Xander, Cordelia and more – faces brand new Big Bads, and a threat lurking beneath the perfectly manicured exterior of Sunnydale High, confirming what every teenager has always known: high school truly is hell.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text 0=””]“Once you fight your way through all the monsters of the week and threats around every corner, Buffy is about something we’ve all experienced – the awkward, uncomfortable journey of figuring out who we choose to be. Dan Mora captures the spirit of that struggle with the perfect style and attitude for slaying the monsters hiding in the dark…and in the light of day,” said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “As you can see, Jordie and Dan have some huge plans for Buffy and the Gang – starting with some pretty major introductions of characters like Anya and…well, I won’t spoil that one quite yet. But let’s just say by issue #4, it’ll be clear that this is a love letter to the Buffy we all adore and will go in directions that no one ever expected.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][us_separator size=”small”][us_image image=”19283″ style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”lightbox”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text 0=””]Buffy The Vampire Slayer premiered on the WB Network on March 10th, 1997.
