LOS ANGELES, CA (December 13, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1<\/strong>, the highly anticipated start of the all newBUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER\u00a0<\/strong>monthly comic book series that will debut on January 23rd, 2019, in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.<\/p>\n

Eisner Award-nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands<\/em>) and Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora\u00a0(Klaus, Saban\u2019s Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>), along with series creator and story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Firefly<\/em>, Marvel\u2019sThe Avengers<\/em>, and more), reimagine the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon from the very beginning in\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the Buffy Summers you know, who wants what every average teenager wants: friends at her new school, decent grades, and to escape her imposed destiny as the next in a long line of vampire slayers tasked with defeating the forces of evil. But the Slayer\u2019s 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. The more things change, the more they stay the same, as the Gang \u2013 Giles, Willow, Xander, Cordelia and more \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

WELCOME BACK TO THE HELLMOUTH, FOR THE FIRST TIME!<\/p>\n

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1<\/strong>\u00a0features a main cover by acclaimed Mondo illustrator Matthew Taylor, along with variant covers by superstar Kevin Wada (She-Hulk<\/em>), Royal Dunlap (Spitball<\/em>), Becca Carey (Bitch Planet<\/em>), and Jen Bartel (Blackbird<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Fans can join the fight between Good and Evil by choosing between two special interactive variant covers from acclaimed artist Miguel Mercado (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/em>). Hold each one up to your face to reveal your inner Slayer or inner Demon! Will you stand with the Chosen One (#TeamSlayer) or will you side with the Vampires (#TeamVamp)?<\/p>\n

You can also track down two rare variant covers from artist Kaiti Infante that depict fan favorite Willow Rosenberg on both sides of the battle, one as Buffy\u2019s best friend and the other\u2026as Vampire Willow?!<\/p>\n
