The Reimagining of Joss Whedon\u2019s Pop Culture Phenomenon Sells Out Before It Goes On-Sale & Returns With Second Printing
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES, CA (January 17, 2019) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0BOOM! Studios announced today thatBuffy The Vampire Slayer #1<\/em>, reimagining the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon from the very beginning in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, has sold out at the distributor level before arriving in comic book shops on January 23rd.<\/p>\n

To meet this overwhelming demand from fans,\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT<\/strong>\u00a0will arrive in stores on February 20th with a stunning all-new cover by Amelia Vidal, featuring everyone\u2019s favorite young witch \u2013 Willow Rosenberg!<\/p>\n

Eisner Award nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands<\/em>) and Russ Manning award-winning artist Dan Mora (Klaus<\/em>,\u00a0Saban\u2019s Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>), along with series creator and story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behindFirefly<\/em>,\u00a0Marvel\u2019s The Avengers<\/em>, and more) welcome you back to the Hellmouth for the very first time!<\/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

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

\u201cEveryone working on this series is incredibly thrilled by and grateful for the response from retailers and fans to this new beginning for the story of Buffy Summers,\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cThe faith and support in us is the thing that motivates us to go big or go home on every issue. Believe me when I say you haven\u2019t seen anything yet: the events of issue four alone will have every Scooby talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
