Buffy at BOOM!

A day after The Reckoning, BOOM! Studios drops a first teaser for their new Buffy comics line, expected to start in 2019.

And it’s pretty old school. As in Sunnydale High.

After more than ten years of post-TV seasons at Dark Horse (following about as much stuff during and around the TV seasons, and DH doing a run of The High School Years one-shots in recent years) it makes sense to do something different, and going back to the classic era at launch is a sound choice. That might be the central monthly title, or one of a line, with separate graphic novels and miniseries planned as well.

That teaser image also gives Buffy a decidedly modern-looking phone. This could be artistic licence, a hint that we shouldn’t expect a late 90s period piece, or just a goof...
