The reimagining of Joss Whedon’s groundbreaking series continues as Drusilla, the self-proclaimed Mistress and her pet, Spike, make their debut with their sights set on Buffy! Meanwhile, Giles is determined to teach Buffy about her destiny, responsibility, blah blah…can someone tell him to chill? How bad can it get?<\/p>\n

Welcome back to the Hellmouth as Eisner Award nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands<\/em>) and Russ Manning award-winning artist Dan Mora (Klaus<\/em>, Saban\u2019s\u00a0Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>), along with series creator and story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer\/director behind\u00a0Firefly,<\/em>\u00a0Marvel\u2019s\u00a0The Avengers<\/em>, and more), reimagine the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon from the very beginning.<\/p>\n
