“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”: Willow Gets Comic Book Series

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer favorite is finally getting the spotlight. 

A five-issue Willow series is spinning out of BOOM! Studios’ Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot. The solo adventure will see Willow leave Sunnydale and head out into the world. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow will follow Willow as she travels the world looking to find herself in the wake of recent events, even as she struggles to come to terms with the darkness that might be inside her, and becomes aware of another threat that might be more than even the Scooby Gang could handle — except, of course, this time, Willow is out there all alone.

Boom! Executive Editor Jeanine Schaefer said in a statement, “Since we first started building our corner of the Buffyverse, we’ve been excited to give Willow her own miniseries—partly because she’s an absolute favorite of ours, but also because she is one of the most iconic queer characters in pop culture.”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow will debut in June.
