Revision as of 03:32, 27 June 2018
One Year Later: One Year Later is the first issue of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Twelve" comic book miniseries. It was written by Christos Gage and Joss Whedon, and illustrated by Georges Jeanty.
Synopsis
It’s one year later, and the lives of Buffy and the Scoobies haven’t been too eventful for a while — at least as far as fighting demons and the forces of darkness are concerned. But that’s all about to change when Dawn and Xander’s housewarming party is interrupted by some familiar faces bringing news of familiar foes from the future. Can you say Harth… and Fray?
- The return of Fray!
- The Reckoning will be the culmination of all the Buffy seasons![1]
Continuity
- A same flashback from Ready, Steady... appears, of the last Slayer facing the last demons.
- A flashback includes one of the fights between Buffy and Melaka, from Time of Your Life, Part One–Part Four arc.
- Harth explains that, by the 23rd century, hardly anyone remembers lurks can assume a human visage, themselves included, which explains why he was the only vampire with human face throughout the whole Fray series.
- The Watcher publication refers to Buffy’s quote in The Long Way Home, Part One, slightly modified from the original “The thing about changing the world… Once you do it, the world’s all different.”
- The story takes place a year after the events from One Girl in All the World.
- It’s determined that the events from Buffy Season 8 take place four years before, therefore matching a season by year of the Scooby Gang. Although, Buffy declares herself as 30 years old, which means that either there was an hiatus of three years between Angel season 5 and "The Long Way Home", or she just rounded her actual age of 28 years old.
- Buffy and Spike have broken up; they’d began their relationship two years earlier, in Love Dares You, Part Two.
- Spike quotes to Buffy his own words from "No Place Like Home".
- Giles has his adult form again, as he briefly had in Freaky Giles Day, as consequence of his resurrection in What You Want, Not What You Need, Part Two.
- Willow mentions her worry on the government seeing Slayer as a threat again, as they did with the Slayer Organization in Season Eight.
- Willow recalls Buffy having her vocational test in "What's My Line, Part One" suggesting her law enforcement.
- Andrew is apparently still in Italy, as he left in In Time of Crisis.
- Angel tries to not look smug with the news on Buffy and Spike break up, as he told Willow in Old Demons, Part Three: “It’s not like it’ll ever last.”
- Buffy recalls Richard Wilkins being blow up in "Graduation Day, Part Two".
- Faith blames Wilkins for making her a killer, as he assigned her an assassination mission in "Graduation Day, Part One".
- Buffy describes reading the Watchers Diaries from the future (Time of Your Life, Part Three).
- Angel recalls his last time travel with Illyria, likely in reference to the events of Angel Season Eleven.
- Melaka and Erin threatens Buffy at first sight, and mention their last fight in Time of Your Life, Part Four.
