Strap yourselves in Buffy fans! BOOM! Studios revealed our first look at the Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Lost Summer one-shot. The special issue, from writer Casey Gilly, along with artist Lauren Knight (Golden Rage, Time Before Time), colorist Francesco Segala (Firefly, House of Slaughter) with color assists by Gloria Martinelli, and letterer Ed Dukeshire bring fans a frightfully fun story set in the continuity of the cult classic TV series, available in May 2023.
Spike is determined to keep the last copy of his embarrassing poetry from being discovered, sending Buffy and the gang on a faux-supernatural goose chase to New Orleans to cover his tracks. While at an antiques fair along the way, the group is captivated by The Casquette Girls’ clothes on display. Dawn utters a wish she most likely should’ve kept to herself, and the gang experiences a first hand account of the sisters’ identities…beyond what they could have ever imagined!
The book features a standard cover by Mirka Andolfo (Deep Beyond, Sweet Paprika), and variant covers by Veronica Fish (Firefly: Brand New ‘Verse, Blackwood), and Paulina Ganucheau (Wonder Woman, The Amazing World of Gumball). Here’s a preview of each of the covers:
We also have a handful of preview pages from the book which you can check out below. But beware demon hunters… there may be spoilers ahead!
