Thess is all grown up, having taken up the mantle as the new Slayer! But with new responsibilities comes new enemies, and a mysterious clan will do anything to get to her, even if it means using her friends as bait. Fans won’t want to miss this brand new mini series from veteran Buffy scribe Casey Gilly, set after the events of Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer Special #1!

Thess feels betrayed when she discovers the truth of the mission she’s been sent on, and blows off some steam in unwise ways, revealing more than she probably should have about herself. But the gang and Anya have some information for Thess as well–things that will shed new light on Cora’s path.

Cora comes clean after a night spent together with Thess; her past is tied to the enemy in ways filled with the demonic and arcane, and it’s too much for Thess to bear. Thess’s destructive power is dangerously out of control, with not much left of the boardwalk as Soren’s gang approaches... And with Thess keeping the mantle of the Slayer, what steps will Buffy take to heal her trauma and start a new chapter?

Thess confronts Cora’s bullies but neither they–nor Cora–are what Thessally expected, and it affects her deeply to the point of being reckless. But thankfully some unexpected help arrives for Thess, someone who can help get Cora out of harm's way!

Being new to slaying doesn’t mean that Thess likes being infantilized, especially by an over-protective demon named Anya, who’s controlling at every turn. But concerning Cora Devonshire–Thess’s current crush–is there any validity to Anya’s suspicion? As she and Cora get closer, Thessaly’s flippancy and resentment might just get the best of her though, when she takes on a job from the Watcher’s Council, and is pursued by some admittedly sexy stalkers...

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 (Saban’s 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!
