New Buffy Comic Mini Series set 30 years after shows ending

[DC Fanatic]

Take a first look at Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer, set 30 hard years after the show In Boom Studios’ newest Buffy seres, the Slayer is still fighting in her 50s

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is long over, but the protagonist lives on in the comic book world. And this fall, Boom Studios is taking her where she’s never gone before. Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer takes place in a post-apocalyptic future and Buffy is in her 50s. That’s right: It’s Old Man Logan Woman Buffy.

Written by Casey Gilly with art from Joe Jaro, in the time of the four-issue series, things have gone terribly wrong. A magical catastrophe has nearly blotted out the sun, cloaking the world in darkness and giving vampires free rein to cause trouble. Buffy is fighting just to stay alive, until she finds a young girl who might just be able to end the fight.

It’s a story that might feel similar to anyone who’s watched Logan, but that doesn’t make it a bad idea. It’s interesting to see an older Buffy who doesn’t have to worry about school stresses, romantic drama, or rival Slayers. Check out Jaro’s character designs for future versions of Buffy and Spike, as well as five covers for Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer #1 below, courtesy of Boom Studios!

There's been a Buffy comic since the end of the show, I believe.  Or am I mistaken?

Yes, there's been plenty of comics. Looks like this is a new comic series. Buffy is quite successful in the comic world. There has been a comic of Buffy out since 1998. 

Looks like this one being set 30 years after the show ended is some alternate universe comic book series. Be interesting to see a Buffy in her 50s.

She can probably still kick butt.  And she might have kids that can do the same.

Is this set in the same continuity as the dark horse comics I wonder? Or is this literally just an elseworld's story. Seems interesting I guess. I like the art.

Good question. I feel like it's more of a fun stand-alone so perhaps it is a else world's story.

Art looks great. Looks fun. Guess we'll find out when we get more info coming out.

Looks like Buffy is in London for this one.

Its interesting because if it is an elseworld's thing then the writer can take liberties with established continuity. Certain things may have never happened or happened differently in this timeline. Tara still alive? Dawn never existed? Lots of potential here.

I'm sure many a Buffy fan would be happy if Tara were still alive.  Killer her off made many of those fans mad.

I really love those what ifs with differences, they are always so much fun with lots of potential. 

I'm really looking forward to seeing what they decide to do with this.

I hope you Buffy fans among us enjoy it.  Give us your thoughts when you're done.

This looks interesting. I'll have to cjrck it out. Sounds interesting enough of a concept.

[Tim]

I'm sure Buffy fans will like it.
