The creative team for the BOOM! Studios Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic has been announced, along with a cover reveal and a description of the premise.
It’s an Ultimate Marvel style reboot, with Buffy arriving at Sunnydale High in 2019 - “writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands, and owner of a cat called Buffy) and artist Dan Mora (Klaus) are working with creator and story consultant Joss Whedon to reboot the entire Buffy concept from day one.”
(Well, day two really - the announcement shows it keeps versions of the TV setting and cast, making it more like the show than the show was like the movie.)
Unlike the new live-action series which is set in the original Buffyverse, it’s running with the name, and judging by the main cover and the Kevin Wada variant going with a likeness for Sarah Michelle Gellar when she was starting in the role. (Though who is that other apparent slayer represented on the Royal Dunlap variant cover?)
In RPG terms, it’s like someone picking up a classic sourcebook and doing a new version.
And hey, Ultimate Spider-Man was the basis for a few animated series. Just saying.
