Continuing her journey through Hell, Buffy finally runs into the cavalry -- in the form of Angel, Faith, and Oz. Now it's up to this tensely reunited team to save the hordes of Hell, and return Sunnydale to the real world. Writer Scott Lobdell (X-Men, High Roads) is really heating things up in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don't miss the wide-screen, big budget Buffy spectacular that you couldn't fit on your TV screen!

Hellmouth to Mouth  (4 of 4)

Writer: Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza & Andi Watson
Pencillers: Cliff Richard, Andi Watson & Paul Lee
Cover: Brian Horton & Paul Lee 

Scott Lobdell wraps up his first apocalyptic run on Buffy with a special fiftieth issue, featuring more story pages, as well as two backup features: a prose story by Lobdell, with illustrations by Paul Lee; a short comic by Andi Watson; and a wraparound painted cover by regular cover artists Lee and Brian Horton. "Hellmouth to Mouth" concludes as Buffy finally rescues Xander and Dawn from the crew that's nearly destroyed Sunnydale -- The Scourge! They soon find that the only thing worse than the Scourge is their secret leader, revealed this issue! Buffy's not just fighting for her friends' and family's lives, she's fighting for a chance to live her own life, to be more than a fearless vampire hunter. Who better to have backing her up than former sadistic Slayer Faith and the vampire hunting vampire himself, Angel?!

Writer: Scott Lobdell & Fabian Nicieza
Penciller: Cliff Richard
Cover: Brian Horton & Paul Lee 

The Buffy monthly takes a bold new direction under the guidance of former X-Men writers Lobdell and Nicieza. It's 1996, and Buffy Summers has just accepted her role as the Vampire Slayer. After the destruction of her high school, she flees to Las Vegas to sort out her life. Meanwhile, Watcher Rupert Giles wonders why on Earth his Slayer hasn't arrived in Sunnydale. The comic takes you where the TV show never did, back to the roots of everything, in the summer before Buffy arrived in Sunnydale. And there's a tall, dark, and handsome stranger keeping an eye on her during those dangerous nights in Vegas. The saga of the Slayer begins again with a new direction for Dark Horse's monthly series!

Viva Las Buffy  (2 of 4)

Writer: Scott Lobdell & Fabian Nicieza
Penciller: Cliff Richard
Cover: Paul Lee 

Before Buffy ever arrived in Sunnydale, she did a little stint in Vegas. Not exactly doing what we have her pictured here, but we couldn't resist ...
Frightened and confused by her new-found powers as the Slayer, Buffy has picked up and left her mom and little sister behind. Hiding out in Sin City is no way to avoid trouble, though, especially when the city's gentle citizens are being terrorized by just a few of the many bodies buried without headstones in Vegas's seedier strips. Perfect for Christmas!

2003

Writer: Joss Whedon
Penciller: Karl Moline
Cover: Karl Moline & Andy Owens 


When a hero dies, it's customary for a portrait to be rendered, an idealized and iconic image symbolizing all their courage, and thanking them for the good they've done and the lives they've saved. A portrait showing the hero at their best, at their strongest. A portrait not only to memorialize their death, but also increase their legend. A portrait like this cover.

Or maybe we just didn't want to give away what happens inside the book. Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, together with Karl Moline, Andy Owens, and Dave Stewart, deliver the stunning climax to the most widely acclaimed comics series of the past year. This book, which has taken a young girl from the depths of the ghetto through the spires of skyscrapers, and pitted her against vampires, dragons, and family members has truly saved the best for last. Do not miss it!

Dark Horse state late December 2002 as the release date but at the moment it won't reach that deadline, like history dictates.

Release date unknown 2003, 32pg, $2.99

Writers: Fabian Nicieza, Tom Fassbender & Jim Pascoe
Penciller: Cliff Richards 


Buffy is dead. Her friends are trying to get on with their lives. Between them, there is enough anger, frustration, loss, guilt, and tragedy to resurrect an ancient demon. Things aren't looking too good for Willow, Xander, and the gang. A lovelorn demon has been set free into our dimension, and its food is the grief of Buffy's nearest and dearest. If that's not bad enough, a horde of demonic reptilian sorcerers plan to resurrect their fallen comrade and paint the town blood red. Can Buffy's friends face the threat without a Slayer to defend them? Willow finds that she can learn a great deal from these reptilian mystics. And if there's going to be one resurrection, why can't there be TWO?
