The Vampire Slayer

In 2022, Boom! Studios launched a new chapter for Buffy Summers with The Vampire Slayer, a 16-issue series that reimagined the classic premise through a fresh, character-driven lens. Written primarily by Sarah Gailey, with art by Kath Lobo, Hannah Templer, and Sonia Liao, the run explores the complexities of slayer mythology while grounding the supernatural action in personal stakes and modern sensibilities. This series matters as a thoughtful, standalone take that honors the core themes of the franchise while carving its own identity in the comics landscape.
