Overview

Go back to the beginning as the critically acclaimed pop culture phenomenon Buffy The Vampire Slayer is reimagined under the guidance of series creator Joss Whedon

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...only this time around, her world looks a lot more like the one outside your window.

Eisner Award winner Jordie Bellaire (Redlands) and Russ Manning Award winner Dan Mora (Go Go Power Rangers, Hexed), along with series creator Joss Whedon (Marvel's The Avengers), bring Buffy into a new era with new challenges, new friends, and a few enemies you might already recognize. But the more things change, the more they stay the same as the Gang faces brand-new Big Bads, and the threat lurking beneath the perfectly manicured exterior of Sunnydale High confirms what every teenager has always known: high school truly is hell.

  • Welcome (Back) to the Hellmouth

    Kathleen H. - 3 years 8 months ago

    The Scoobies return to Sunnydale High in a modern reimagining of the cult classic television series. Beautifully illustrated and vibrantly colored, this graphic novel revives our old favorites with a fresh new twist. This first volume rewrites Buffy's initial days at Sunnydale High, with a new first adventure for Giles, Willow, Xander, and Buffy. While starting over, in many ways the series also picks up where creator Joss Whedon left off, as a platform for both feminism and LGBTQ+ rights. We see a higher volume of leading females right off the bat. Other than Buffy and Willow, we meet the series' first Big Bad: a posh, pant-suit-wearing Drusilla. We also see Anya already the owner and proprietor of the magic shop, and Cordelia, forever her strong and dominant self. This arc also introduces Rose, Willow's current girlfriend. Meet your favorite characters all over again! Long-time BtVS fans will find this a fun new interpretation of the classic. Those new to the Hellmouth will find this graphic novel witty and addictive.

    This is a re-imagining of the classic Buffy characters for a new generation. With writing by award winning colorist Jordie Bellaire and art by Dan Mora. This is like looking at Buffy with slick new character redesigns where there are hints of the characters we know and love but they aren't really the same. We get introduced fresh to Buffy, Xander, Willow and Giles but the characters are at slightly different parts of their development. Other characters who happened later in the Buffy lore are introduced sooner with interesting results. This book is an interesting starting point if you aren't acquainted with Buffy at all, and intriguing if you are a Buffy fan. For me the book felt a little short, with some characters not as fully grounded as their original counterparts, characters like Willow are advanced in some of their character developments but lacking her timidity and quirk that allowed her grow? Cordelia is nice now? I am definitely interested in reading further volumes and do think the art of this volume fits the narrative perfectly. It's definitely something to check out!
