Graphic Novels
| Cover | Title | Volume | Release date | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
"Freaks & Geeks" | 1 | June 01, 2016 | ||
| Writer: Faith Erin Hicks | Artist: Yishan Li | ||||
| A group of nerdy vampires, shunned by their cooler brethren, decide to climb the vampire social ladder by taking out the Slayer. They play on Buffy’s insecurities, wearing her down until she is full-on distracted by the mental warfare. But in addition to her Watcher, Giles, this Slayer has a couple of new friends, Willow and Xander, to cheer her on… except, of course, when they’re not getting along. | |||||
|
"Glutton for Punishment" | 2 | November 01, 2016 | ||
| Writer: Kel McDonald | Artist: Yishan Li | ||||
| When Buffy and Xander sign up for Home Ec, assuming it will be an extra-credit cakewalk, they aren’t aware that the teacher is a ravenous tiger demon in disguise. The demon’s unquenchable appetite has him kidnapping his top students and forcing them to cook for him, and when Xander claims some store-bought treats are his own creations, he becomes the demon’s next victim! It’s not enough that Buffy has to keep her grades up, but she also has to rescue her friends and fellow students-and give the tiger demon his just desserts! | |||||
|
"Parental Parasite" | 3 | June 28, 2017 | ||
| Writer: Kel McDonald | Artist: Yishan Li | ||||
| Buffy struggles to deal with her mom Joyce’s newfound interest in spending time with her. Balancing that with her schoolwork, her friends, and her regular vampire-slaying duties is a challenge. However, when Joyce becomes hypnotized by a childlike demon that craves motherly care, Buffy experiences a new kind of sibling rivalry — except in Buffy’s case, her “sibling” is actually a monster! | |||||
