LOS ANGELES, CA (December 21, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0BOOM! Studios today announced that iconic\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer\u00a0<\/em>character Robin Wood will join the publisher\u2019s hotly-anticipated reimagining of the pop culture phenomenon, in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, with the reveal of the character design by Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora (Klaus, Saban\u2019s Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n

While fans first met Robin Wood in the seventh season of the television series as both the principal of Sunnydale High and a vampire hunter, he will join the cast of\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER<\/strong>\u00a0in 2019 as captain of the Sunnydale Field and Track team – a model student and high school heartthrob with a mysteriously broken wrist. But when Robin meets Buffy and the Scooby Gang, some fists (and sparks) might just fly before they discover the truth about each other…and how they need to work together to save Sunnydale.<\/p>\n

Alongside Mora, Eisner Award-nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands<\/em>) and series creator\/story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Firefly,<\/em>\u00a0Marvel\u2019sThe Avengers<\/em>, and more) invite readers to meet a Buffy Summers like the one they know \u2013 trying to make friends at her new school, get 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 (including fan-favorite Drusilla\u2019s debut as THE MISTRESS).<\/p>\n

\u201cBUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER<\/strong>\u00a0is a love letter to everything we love about our favorite Slayer and her world – but as you’ve seen with Drusilla\u2019s introduction as The Mistress, there are no rules we won’t break. Reinventing Robin Wood as a mysterious new teenage ally – and maybe more – for Buffy is a key part of that new direction,” said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “But just like his original introduction to TV audiences, our Robin Wood comes loaded with a mysterious past, a secret mission and a special connection to the inhabitants of Sunnydale. We can’t tell you when he debuts in the series… only that it’s going to be big. And we\u2019re not done breaking rules, yet.”<\/p>\n

Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em>\u00a0premiered on the WB Network on March 10th, 1997. The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997-2003, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as \u201cBuffy Summers.\u201d 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 called the \u201cScooby Gang.\u201d<\/p>\n

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER\u00a0<\/strong>is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Joss Whedon\u2019s\u00a0Firefly, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings<\/em>, and\u00a0Klaus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1<\/strong>\u00a0will be available for sale on January 23, 2019 exclusively at local comic book shops (use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM!
