There’s no rest for the wicked… and no rest for the Slayer fighting them. Even well into her 50s, Buffy Summers is killing the unkillable and trying to save the world.

In a new comic story from BOOM! Studios, fans will see Buffy as they’ve never seen her before. The dystopian series follows the sole-remaining Slayer on her ongoing quest to save the world.

Here’s the official description of the four-issue series Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer:

Can a lone Slayer save what’s left of humanity? Buffy Summers is the last Slayer. Now in her 50s, she wages a one woman fight against the forces of darkness, who prey on humanity in the daylight unimpeded thanks to a magical catastrophe that has nearly blotted out the sun. The same disaster robbed Buffy of her friends and ended the Slayer-line, forcing her into an endless guerilla war. That is, until she stumbles across something she hasn’t seen in a long time – hope, in the form of a prophecy and the young girl who carries it…

The series comes from acclaimed writer Casey Gilly (Star Wars Adventures) and artist Joe Jaro (Firefly). Issue #1 features main cover art by acclaimed illustrator Ario Anindito (Star Wars: The High Republic), as well as variant cover art by fan favorite artists Rod Reis (New Mutants), Dani Pendergast (Magic), Jakub Rebelka (Judas, Origins), Claire Roe (Bury the Lede), and Giuseppe Camuncoli (Undiscovered Country).
