The comic universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is growing with the new title, The Vampire Slayer. A new era of the Chosen One begins when Buffy is faced with a terrible choice and a powerful threat in this book by writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich) and artist Irene Flores (Just Beyond).

“After the events of the past few years, fighting against the forces of evil nonstop, Buffy Summers finds herself succumbing to the burden of bearing the Slayer mantle. To help his Slayer, Rupert Giles risks turning to chaos magic, and with Willow’s help, they attempt a spell to remove the trauma from Buffy’s psyche. But the effects backfire and leave Buffy unable to remember her past or her purpose! With Sunnydale under attack, a surprising new Slayer must rise to protect the world, while Buffy’s friends race against the clock to restore her true self before it’s too late…” BOOM!’s description states.

“I am thrilled and honored to be writing stories in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! This iconic property helped to draw me and many of my peers and colleagues into the worlds of action and horror, and I hope my run will continue pushing the boundaries of what a monster-fighting story can be,” Gailey said. “I can’t wait to bring a whole new set of adventures to Buffy fans everywhere.”
