Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 | Joss Whedon, Jordie Bellaire
15 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
Go back to the beginning as the critically acclaimed pop culture phenomenon Buffy The Vampire Slayer is reimagined under the guidance of series creator Joss Whedon. This is the Buffy Summers you know, who wants what every average teenager wants: friends at her new school, decent grades, and to escape her imposed destiny as the next in a long line of vampire slayers tasked with defeating the forces of evil. But her world looks a lot more like the one outside your window, as Jordie Bellaire (Redlands) and Russ Manning Award-Winner Dan Mora (Sabans Go Go Power Rangers) bring Buffy into a new era with new challenges, new friends...and a few enemies you might already recognize. But the more things change, the more they stay the same, as the Gang faces brand new Big Bads, and the threat lurking beneath the perfectly manicured exterior of Sunnydale High confirms what every teenager has always known: high school truly is hell! WELCOME BACK TO THE HELLMOUTH, FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Really enjoyed this reboot, all the things I loved from the tv series plus the LGBTQ+ stuff right from the start. Plus my favourite librarian #TeamGiles

Buffy is back in high school, but set in present day instead of late 90‘s so it‘s a bit more woke. Was so delighted to see everyone but mostly it made me want to go back and rewatch season 1.

I am a total Buffy geek, so even though I stopped reading post-series comics years ago, I had to pick this one up because it starts at the beginning with Buffy in (slightly AU) high school. Makes me want to write fanfic and dig out all my memorabilia. B/A forever.

LoveToReadLiveToRead Me too! I rewatched loads of it on maternity leave a few years ago. I saw the first issue of this comic but haven‘t kept up with it. (edited) 5y

I'm not totally sold on this #comics reboot of #BtVS but I'm intrigued enough to keep reading. It goes back to the beginning of the story, but it's set in present day. Some characters who didn't appear until much later (Spike, Druscilla, Anya) are there from the beginning and other characters are slightly changed (Willow is confident and an out lesbian, for example). I'm not sure how I feel about the changes but I'm open. I love the art!

Susannah I feel ambivalent too. This famous shot of Buffy holding her stake but altered so she‘s holding a mobile phone in her other hand makes me a little 😒. 5y
Ruthiella Too soon to reboot!!!!☹️ 5y

Read June 16, 4.5 ⭐️. I was on the fence if I wanted a rebooted modern-day BtVS. But I gave it a chance and so far I love it. I am looking forward to Vol. 2. The art is great. The subtle changes to the characters are great. The story, so far, is really good if a tad bit fast paced. That said I am not sure if I like the direction Xander is being taken.

Nostalgia is a difficult thing. I love Buffy. That said, it's not without its problems. It's tough to confront that and not wonder, what would this look like today?

So Whedon and Belliare hit the reset button.

Sunnydale High, 2018. Buffy is new in town, and she has a badass secret. Willow is confident and out. Xander is... Xander, but mopier. Giles is losing patience. And the big bad just rolled in.

Familiar, but so different, and so good.

wanderinglynn This is on my TBR, so I haven‘t read it yet. Not to say looking back, there aren‘t issues (because 1997 vs. 2019) and maybe this is showing my age, but I liked the way Willow‘s story developed in the original series from unconfident brainiac to confident lesbian Wicca. I think a lot of us identified with her struggles throughout the series (especially considering her BFF is an actual superhero). 5y
ShyBookOwl @wanderinglynn You're right. Willow is my favourite character and I love her TV arc. But it's still fun to see her re-imagined as a teen who is proud to be a brain and comfortable with her sexuality. I think this version might make a great role model. 5y
wanderinglynn Good point. I‘m excited to read it. 5y
ShyBookOwl @wanderinglynn 👍🏼 curious to see what you think when you do 5y

Volume 1! Headed home from the office as soon as I got the amazon notification that my preorder had been delivered 😍

I'll be finishing my day remotely so I can crack it open as soon as my work is complete.

Finished crocheting my bag and decorated it with some bookish pins. Grr Argh is my favourite, but I'm also in love with the Frankenstein quote on the heart: "Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful."

Jinster Love this! I have a bag for collecting travel pins but I love these bookish pins 😍 6y
ShyBookOwl @Jinster I'm obsessed! Etsy and Amazon are both great places to browse "Book enamel pins" 6y

No #NCBD for me today as the delivery truck for my local comic shop was delayed (maybe tomorrow, Friday at the latest).

Luckily, I buy Buffy digitally so at least I get 1 new comic today. 👍

A modern reboot of Buffy's story. It's always hard to tell with a single issue, but this definitely looks like a fun & promising comic. Loved the art which is clearly recognizable as the original actors but with updated looks. Most of the dialogue was spot on too, though it sometimes got a bit explainy. Looking forward to reading more of this one to see where it goes-- especially since they're clearly not sticking to the original storyline.

LoveToReadLiveToRead Willow seemed pretty different to the Willow we were first introduced to in the series I thought. Not necessarily complaining, I‘ll be interested to see how this develops. 6y
rachelsbrittain @LoveToReadLiveToRead yeah I agree! She seemed more like later seasons Willow to me 6y
ShyBookOwl I loved this. I found the new take on Willow really refreshing! I can't wait to see how everything plays out. I'm happy that Joss Whedon is involved, but Bellaire definitely seems right for the job. 6y

So, I'm sitting here browsing ComiXology...as one does...and all of a sudden...

GUYS! HOW DID I FORGET THERE WAS A NEW BUFFY REBOOT COMIC!?? 😱

I mean...I knew about it...but totally forgot!

So now it's 1am on a Tuesday and I'm sitting here reading friggen Buffy! 😅

Don't get me wrong, new Buffy is a good thing! But so is sleep! 🤷‍♂️

God damn I love that Slayer. ❤️

Eyelit How is it? 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai I loved it! I'm super biased when it comes to Buffy though! They could literally put a Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic on the side of a cereal box and I'd shout about how great it is! 😅 #superfan 6y
ShyBookOwl I was so impressed with issue 1! I really thought I'd have trouble going back to the high school years (I love the comic book continuation of the series, and high school feels so long ago). Not the case! So well done! I especially love the new take on Willow. 6y

Getting reading to start the #24B4Monday Readathon! I decided instead of choosing books from my evergrowing TBR pile I would try to finish the books I started this month and did not finish. Plus I added in the new Buffy comic. Happy Reading Everyone! @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65

BeansPage Very awesome! Happy reading! 6y
Andrew65 Will be reading The English Wife next month. 6y
litenthusiast @Andrew65 I am really enjoying it. There are many witty one-liners in the book that make me laugh. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it next month. 6y
Andrew65 @litenthusiast Will let you know what I think. 😊 6y
