“Things are starting to get pretty interesting in Sunnydale.”\u2014IGN<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios, in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, unveiled three\u00a0BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #8<\/strong>\u00a0covers by Mondo illustrator Marc Aspinall, and artists Kevin Wada (She-Hulk<\/em>) and Becca Carey.

While the Slayer and the rest of the Scooby Gang were fighting to save Xander\u2019s soul, the Mistress Drusilla and her lieutenant Spike were busy searching for a way to open the gates of the Hellmouth so they could flood Sunnydale, then eventually the world, with demons and hell on Earth. And they\u2019re close. Can Buffy stop them in time to save the world from utter destruction?<\/p>\n

High school is hell, as Eisner Award-nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands<\/em>) and acclaimed artist David L\u00f3pez (Captain Marvel<\/em>), along with series creator and story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Firefly, Marvel\u2019s The Avengers,<\/em>\u00a0and more), reimagine the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon for a new generation of comic book fans.<\/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\u20132003, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers. 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 #8<\/strong>\u00a0features three main covers. Buffy and Angel meet at a Halloween party on Mondo illustrator Marc Aspinall\u2019s cover. Fan favorite artist Kevin Wada\u2019s cover features Anya, the proprietor of Sunnydale\u2019s hottest underground magic shop.
