BOOM! Studios has announced that it will be released a collection of previously released rare and out of print Angel comics beginning with Angel: Legacy…

This Firefly comic series from BOOM! Studios breaks new ground. It tells a story that belongs to Malcolm and Zoe, with BOOM! Studios promise to reveal “a secret history” fans have only seen shrouded in trauma, somber illusions, and a soldier’s need to leave the battlefield behind.

The first arc of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been near perfect from start to finish. Bellaire has captured the essence of the characters and given them her own spin. In turn the entire art team have all pulled out their best work to make sure that this comic would be a hit.

Issue #4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer marks the end of the first story arc in BOOM! Studios new Buffy-verse. With the announcement of the surprise Angel comic, also out this week, certain elements of the plot may have been given away. Or have they?

In BOOM! Studios new Buffy series, Jordie Bellaire understands this all important aspect of the shows history and issue three is still part of the introduction to this Buffy-verse. There is a monster of the week and the laying of groundwork for future stories. Characters are dropped unceremoniously into the mix as if they are simply residents of Sunnydale and not major players in the story; exactly as Joss Whedon did back in the day.

The characters are as important and well-defined as just about any long-standing comic book character so many people hold dear to their hearts. Thankfully, Bellaire and Mora have done an admirable job so far in capturing the camp and heart of what made the television show so charming in the first place.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” No. 1 shows why moving the property from Dark Horse to Boom! was a great opportunity to breathe new life into such a wonderful franchise.

Overall, this was a respectful relaunching of the cult classic and something original creator Joss Whedon would be proud of.

As risky and disaster prone as it might sound on paper, BOOM’s new Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic immediately reinvigorates a long-running property.

WHY BOOM! STUDIOS DECIDED TO REBOOT BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER It’s a time of major upheaval for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise. Not only…
