I’m in love.

The thing about Buffy being off the air for nearly 20 years... is that it’s been off the air for nearly 20 years. Nothing can ever touch the original, but it’s been long enough to create plenty of space for reboots, retelling, and reimaginings.

This is a brand new version of Buffy that feels incredibly devoted to the spirit of the original, but is wildly different in terms of plot. This doesn’t resemble the original arc of Buffy, and it isn’t supposed to. Instead, we get to see new characters portrayed in really fun new ways, while playing with ideas of how these characters might turn out if things had been different here or there.

I reiterate: this isn’t “””CANON BUFFY””” but it’s a hell of a lot of fun and it has so much potential. I hope it runs for a very long time. I can’t wait to see the Scooby gang bond and change and grow in a whole new way.

Nice art, interesting story. Not quite what I’m used to from the TV show but still awesome.

(i read all 6 of them but don’t wanna count them individually) at the beginning i enjoyed the changes made to make a modern retelling, but towards the end it started to fall flat.
