Since the destruction of the Hellmouth, the Slayers - newly legion
- have gotten organized and are kicking some serious undead butt. But not
everything's fun and firearms, as an old enemy reappears and Dawn experiences
some serious growing pains. Meanwhile, one of the "Buffy" decoy slayers
is going through major pain of her own. Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings
Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the
smash-hit TV series. The bestselling and critically acclaimed issues #1-5
are collected here for the first time, as are their covers by Jo Chen and
Georges Jeanty.
In every generation, there is a Chosen One. A slayer destined to protect
the human race. She alone must fight the demons of hell. She alone must
risk her life to stop the spread of evil.
Buffy is the Chosen One.
In Coyote Moon, a typical night at the carnival becomes deadly
as shape shifters turn the amusement park into their own house of horrors.
Buffy starts having past-life nightmares in Night of the Living Rerun,
and must face her historic counterpart before the events of the past repeat
in the present.
In Portal through Time, Slayers over the centuries are in danger,
and Buffy must protect them in order to save her own life and legacy.
The Season Finale is here, and Buffy must face the ultimate betrayal!
Seems like a perfect time for Spike to come back. Series creator Joss Whedon
writes the final story arc of Buffy Season 8, taking his greatest characters
to places only he can! Teamed with series artist Georges Jeanty, Joss reunites
the dysfunctional gang of Buffy, Angel, and Spike, in the thick of it together
for the first time since Season 3, and gives the Scoobies their gravest
challenge ever - defending reality itself from an onslaught of demons.
It's the biggest Buffy finale ever.
Eisner award-winning writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina)
tackles Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight with "No Future
for You." When a rogue debutant Slayer begins to use her power for evil,
Giles is forced to recruit the rebellious Faith, who isn't exactly known
for her good deeds. Giles offers Faith a clean slate if she can stop this
snooty Slayer from wreaking total havoc - that is, if Buffy doesn't beat
her to it. Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his
game as series artist, and Whedon stays on as "Executive Producer" in this
direct follow-up to Season Seven of the smash-hit TV series.
The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This
first massive volume begins at the beginning - The Origin, a faithful adaptation
of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started
it all. The newly-chosen slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las
Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, high school, the Scoobies and an English
librarian lead the way into Season One continuity. Plus, The Goon creator
Eric Powell provides pencils to "All's Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla
at the 1933 World's Fair.
Vampires that, at will, can transform into wolves, panthers, insects,
or fog invade the Slayer base of operations in northern Scotland, and not
only walk away unscathed, but in possession of Buffy's scythe, the symbol
of Slayer power worldwide. Buffy and the Slayer-legion travel to Tokyo
in order to learn more about their dangerous new foes, as Xander journeys
to Transylvania to solicit the only person they've ever known to possess
such power - Dracula!
Buffy Summers and her Slayer army have suffered heavy losses throughout
Season Eight and faced scores of threats new and old, but the one mystery
connecting it all has been the identity of the Big Bad Twilight! In this
penultimate volume of Season Eight, New York Times bestselling novelist
and comics writer Brad Meltzer (The Book of Lies, Identity Crisis) joins
series artist Georges Jeanty in beginning the buildup to the season finale
in the story line that finally reveals the identity of Twilight! In the
aftermath of the battle with Twilight's army, Buffy has developed a host
of new powers, but when will the other shoe drop, and will it be a cute
shoe, or an ugly one? Still reeling from the losses of war, Willow goes
looking for missing allies, and discovers a horrifying truth about several
of the Slayer army's recent ordeals. Adding to the mayhem is the unexpected
return of Angel, in his Season Eight debut! This volume also features two
stories from series creator and executive producer Joss Whedon! In the
Willow one-shot, Whedon and Fray artist Karl Moline reveal for the first
time what Buffy's witchy best friend was up to between Seasons Seven and
Eight, with a mind-blowing cameo by a frequently requested character. And
in "Turbulence," Joss spotlights the complicated relationship between Buffy
and Xander with a conversation that changes it forever.
Buffy Season Eight Volume 6 showcases the first failure of the Slayer
legion. Vampires have solid footing at the top of the totem and Slayers
have been crushed to the bottom - in short, no one likes Buffy anymore...
least of all this season's mysterious Big Bad, Twilight, who is hot on
her magical trail! Now that it's the world against Slayers, Buffy must
find a way to return the status quo to... status quo - and keep her girls
alive long enough to do it! Enter Oz, the only person/werewolf Buffy knows
who is down with the suppression of magic, and can take the Slayer army
off of Twilight's magic-specific radar. With Oz's assistance the Slayers
and Wiccans try to become "normal" through meditation and hard labor -
although, not everyone sees the advantage of being magicless, namely, Willow,
Giles, and Andrew. And they could be right; after all, is a peaceful life
for a Slayer even possible?
Willow and Buffy head to New York City to unlock the secrets of Buffy's
mysterious scythe, when something goes terribly awry. Buffy is propelled
into a dystopian future where there's only one Slayer - Fray, the title
character of Joss Whedon's 2001 series, the first comic he ever wrote.
Their uneasy alliance falls apart, leading to the death of a major character
from the TV series, while back in the twenty-first century, the Scotland
base falls prey to a mystical bomb courtesy of the Biggest Bad - Twilight!
Buffy's world goes awry when former-classmate-turned-vampire Harmony
Kendall lands her own reality TV show, Harmony Bites, bolstering bloodsucking
fiends in the mainstream. Humans line up to have their blood consumed,
and Slayers, through a series of missteps, misfortunes, and anti-Slayer
propaganda driven by the mysterious Twilight, are forced into hiding. In
Germany, Faith and Giles discover a town where Slayers retreat from a world
that has turned against them, only to find themselves in the arms of something
far worse. A rogue-Slayer faction displaces an entire Italian village,
living up to their tarnished reputation as power-hungry thieves. And finally,
with the help of a would-be demon lover, Dawn addresses her unfaltering
insecurities.
