THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #6 First Look

Sky-High Stakes and Ominous Omens in THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #6

Discover the Dangerous Stakes of Buffy’s Absent Slayer Sense & Willow’s Uncontrollable Anger in September 2022

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #6, the next issue of the new comic book series from the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From the creative team of award-winning author Sarah Gailey (Eat The Rich, Magic for Liars), artist Sonia Liao (A Thief Among The Trees), colorist Valentina Pinto, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, comes a new era for the Chosen One as she faces an impossible choice and a danger so powerful, it threatens the lives of everyone and everything she holds dear in September 2022.

Can Giles and Willow set the spell right? And more importantly, can Xander stop Willow when she recognizes what Spike truly is? Between Buffy’s absent Slayer-senses and Willow’s increasing temper, the stakes could not be higher as Xander brings omens of an even more ominous threat… 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on March 10th, 1997. The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series ran for seven seasons from 1997-2003. Chosen to battle vampires, demons and other forces of darkness, Buffy is aided by a Watcher who guides and teaches her as she surrounds herself with a circle of friends.
