BOOM! Studios' Buffy The Vampire Slayer series has been introducing different characters who have previously held the title character's mantle through variant covers since it launched earlier this year. Their stories will now be told in a new one-shot featuring work from Mairghread Scott, Ornella Savarese, Celia Lowenthal and Alexa Sharpe.
The issue will feature a main cover from Evan Cagle with variants by Helen Yoon and Sharpe. You can see the preview of the issue below, as well as a summary and which creative teams are attached to the stories of the three slayers.
Writer Mairghread Scott (Batgirl) and artist Ornella Savarese reveal the hidden origins of the Sunnydale Hellmouth in a story about a young Indigenous American woman at the turn of the 19th Century who finds out she is the Chosen One and makes a decision that changes the course of Slayer history forever! Celia Lowenthal (Over The Garden Wall: Hollow Town) tells the story of the young 14th century Italian Slayer from her BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #2 variant cover. And, from Alexa Sharpe (Rolled and Told), we discover the origins of the Slayer from the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #6 variant cover, in a story set in Napoleonic France.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is based on the hit series created by Joss Whedon. The series ran from 1997 to 2003 on the WB Network and was nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes throughout its run. The show starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers, a young woman tasked with destroying vampires and other creatures of the night. She was aided by her "Scooby Gang" and her Watcher, Rupert Giles.
