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 GangGiles, 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.[1]

Continuity

  • This story is an alternative version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer original series, with no sense of continuity between them.
  • The events are parallel to the spin-off comic series Angel, crossing over in the miniseries Hellmouth.
  • The graphic novel anthologies Chosen Ones and Every Generation, as well as the Willow miniseries, are set in the same universe as this series.
