BOOM! Studios has unveiled the first look at characters designs from Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora.

Debuting in comic shops on January 9th, 2019 in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, Buffy the Vampire Slayer  #1 reimagines the groundbreaking pop culture phenomenon from the very beginning!

Alongside Mora, Eisner Award-nominated writer Jordie Bellaire and series creator/story consultant Joss Whedon invite readers to meet a Buffy Summers like the one they know – trying to make friends at her new school, get 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 (including fan-favorite Drusilla’s debut as THE MISTRESS).

The more things change, the more they stay the same, as the Gang – Giles, 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.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 will be available for sale on January 9th, 2019.
