Can a lone Slayer save what's left of humanity?
Buffy Summers is the last Slayer. Now in her 50s, she wages a one woman fight against the forces of darkness, who prey on humanity in the daylight unimpeded thanks to a magical catastrophe that has nearly blotted out the sun. The same disaster robbed Buffy of her friends and ended the Slayer-line, forcing her into an endless guerilla war. That is, until she stumbles across something she hasn't seen in a long time -- hope, in the form of a prophecy and the young girl who carries it.

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Dec 08, 2021Buffy: The Last Vampire Slayer #1 envisions a dark future for the titular heroine and contains the same blend of horror and humor that made the TV series a hit.

COMICON - Scott Redmond
Dec 14, 2021Buffy enters the tired and true realm of dystopian future-type stories, as the former slayer finds her way within a still-dangerous world that seemingly no longer has any need or want for her. This is a book that surely will speak to long-time Buffy fans as it treads the line very close to the television series world while also doing its own things to expand the familiar but different world.

Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton
Dec 08, 2021Although it's set in an alternate universe and features middling art, Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer is a story that has some of themes and stylistic dialogue of the original TV show while featuring a complex lead character that is perfect for the literal Hellmouth we currently live in.

Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes
Dec 08, 2021I know that multi-verse is all in vogue at the moment, but truth be told, I could go a month or two without "alternative timelines / universe". Whatever happened to great stories in the current universes? This book may appeal to Buffy fans; for me though it is been there, done that, which is a poor showing for a show and character that affected pop culture so much in her heyday. Read Full Review

Don't understand the hate for this one. It's not amazing or anything, it's not classic Buffy (is that even possible in comic book form), but it's pretty good. I had a good time. I prefer it over the ongoing at this point.
