LOS ANGELES, CA (March 21, 2019)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #4<\/strong>, the shocking conclusion to the first arc of the highly praised reimagining of\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER<\/strong>\u00a0that is sure to divide readers and surprise fans both old and new, 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 (Klaus<\/em>,\u00a0Saban\u2019s Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>), along with series creator and story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Firefly<\/em>,\u00a0Marvel\u2019s The Avengers<\/em>, and more), continue to reimagine the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon in\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Buffy Summers thinks she\u2019s faced the worst Sunnydale has to offer \u2013 like the Mistress Dru and her mysterious ally Spike \u2013 but this is the moment that changes everything for her. One member of her newly formed Scooby Gang won\u2019t survive Dru\u2019s master plan \u2013 and the shocking first appearance of one of Joss Whedon\u2019s most popular characters may not be enough to save the day. Not to mention Buffy\u2019s got a date with Robin Wood that\u2019s gonna be completely ruined now!<\/p>\n

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #4<\/strong>\u00a0features a main cover by acclaimed Mondo illustrator Matthew Taylor, along with variant covers by fan favorite Kevin Wada (She-Hulk<\/em>) and acclaimed illustrator Feifei Ruan (Jim Henson\u2019s Storyteller<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time Buffy thinks she\u2019s got it figured out, a bomb gets dropped that changes everything, reinforcing her fears that she isn\u2019t good enough, that the future is uncertain, and that she might not live long enough to put things right.\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cAmidst this uncertainty, the explosive events that break into Buffy\u2019s life will happen when she least expects them, leaving longtime fans and new readers stunned by the events unfolding behind Buffy\u2019s back.\u201d<\/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, starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as \u201cBuffy Summers.\u201d Chosen to battle vampires, demons and other forces of darkness, Buffy was aided by her Watcher, Rupert Giles, and a circle of friends known as the \u201cScooby Gang.\u201d<\/p>\n

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #4<\/strong>\u00a0is the newest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including\u00a0Abbott<\/em>from Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivel\u00e4;\u00a0Bone Parish<\/em>\u00a0from Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf;\u00a0Grass Kings<\/em>\u00a0from Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins; and\u00a0Klaus\u00a0<\/em>from Grant Morrison and Dan Mora.
