Dark Horse Comics has announced the return of Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Serenity) and Christos Gage (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel & Faith, Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil) to unite the Buffyverse for an epic battle-filled four-issue series titled Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning coming this June! Artist Georges Jeanty (Serenity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) also returns to lend his illustrative skills to the next installment.
This will mark Joss Whedon’s first time back working on Buffy since 2011’s Season 9. Christos Gage will be continuing his work from Season 11.
Following the world-altering finale of Season 11, Buffy and the Scoobies have had a laid-back year in the saving-the-world department. But as they’ve learned over their years of fighting the forces of darkness and thwarting many an apocalypse, nothing stays quiet for long. When Dawn and Xander’s housewarming party is crashed by some familiar faces with news of an amassing force that must be reckoned with—Wolfram & Hart, a legion of demons, and Harth, a vampire from the future—Buffy finds herself in a time warp that could alter the fate of the world and could spell the end for Buffy, her friends, and the Slayers, forever.
This miniseries reunites the Buffyverse with the return of Angel, Faith, and Illyria. Will also see the return of Fray, the Slayer from the future who first appeared in a self-titled spin-off in 2001.
The series comes with three awesome variant covers by Stephanie Hans, Georges Jeanty with Karl Story and Dan Jackson, and Karl Moline. Check them out below. One, in particular, shows Buffy holding a baby. Which raises so many questions.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning #1 (of four) goes on sale June 20, 2018. The first issue will be available for preorder at your local comic shop in March. Will you be picking up the series?
