Full House

The subject of this article is non-canonical. While created as part of licensed material, it has not been confirmed as part of the "real" Buffyverse continuity.

Viva Las Buffy! Act 2: Full House is the fifty-second issue of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic comic book series. Written by Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza, and illustrated by Cliff Richards, it was originally published on December 26, 2002 by Dark Horse Comics.

SynopsisEdit

"Viva Las Buffy"! Before Buffy ever arrived in Sunnydale, she did a little stint in Vegas. Not exactly doing what we have her pictured here, but we couldn't resist...

Frightened and confused by her new-found powers as the Slayer, Buffy has picked up and left her mom and little sister behind. Hiding out in Sin City is no way to avoid trouble, though, especially when the city's gentle citizens are being terrorized by just a few of the many bodies buried without headstones in Vegas's seedier strips. Perfect for Christmas!^[1]
