Comic Book Review: Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer (2023) #1

by Christal Kennedy, Reporter

Official Description:
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!

Creative Team:
Writer – Casey Gilly
Artist – Oriol Roig
Colorist – Gloria Martinelli
Lettering – Ed Dukeshire
Cover Art – Ario Anindito
Variant Covers – Suspiria Vilchez & Francesco Francavilla

Buffy is now in her 50’s and should be enjoying the quiet life with Spike as she trains her new charge, the now last in the Slayer line, Thess. Can the happy couple take a vacation without hell (literally) breaking loose? Thess is coming into her Slayer powers and trying to navigate still having a normal life and dating. Anya is getting some bad vibes from Thess’s lady love. Is Cora the perfect girl or is she too good to be true?

Gorgeous artwork from Roig paired with Gilly’s writing makes for one powerhouse team. Staying true to the original cannon, Gilly brings us an alternate universe with nods to fan favorite characters and introducing us to new ones to love. This new mini-series written by Casey Gilly is a continuation from her story line in Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer (2022) and Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer Special, which takes place 5 years since the events in issue #4 of Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer. Casey seems to be gearing up to finally give our beloved Buffy an ending to her story and bringing us full circle with our new heroine, Thess. I can’t wait to see what’s up next.

Rating: ★★★★☆
ComicsOnline gives Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer #1 4 out of 5 slayers with attitude
