Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2019)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a comic book series from Boom! Studios. It’s described as the original homonym series reimagined for the year of 2019.

Premise
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’s 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 — Giles, Willow, Xander, Cordelia and more — 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.

 * Series creator Joss Whedon is credited as story consultant. Editor Jeanine Schaefer has described his involvement in the series: “He read all our plots and the year-long story that we have planned. We walked him through the character beats to make sure we are servicing them properly for the fans, and for them as characters and for the universe. He’s also asked us some tough questions and set some parameters we had to answer before we moved forward. Making sure we answer those questions is the most important part. He’s really on board.”
