Apparently later today those Buffy fans reading this will be able to get on iTunes, get into the store, and buy a season pass to the first nineteen issue of Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Eight. The first issue sees release today, and the trailer can be found here, but Buffy is a natural fit for the motion comic treatment. It’s been a movie, a TV show, almost a cartoon series, and now the final season is getting put into motion.
iTunes offers the following as a description of the series;
“Proving once and for all that you can’t keep a good Slayer down, Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight picks up where the smash-hit TV show left off! Based on the award-winning Dark Horse comic book series, these eye-popping motion comic adventures breathe new life into the Buffyverse for longtime fans and new “watchers” alike. The Hellmouth may have been destroyed, but the world still needs saving, and Buffy Summers is back at her butt-kicking, demon-slaying best to do the job. She’s relocated her base of operations to a castle in Scotland to lead the Scooby Gang, including hundreds of newly activated Slayers scattered around the world to battle the supernatural forces of evil. But in the wake of Sunnydale’s destruction, the U.S. government thinks Buffy and her legions of followers have grown too powerful and are now terrorist threats. Meanwhile, a seemingly unstoppable group of Japanese vampires hatch a nefarious plot, while the biggest, baddest Big Bad of them all, Twilight, is on a mission to destroy every Slayer on Earth!”
Season Eight has been published by Dark Horse, and is getting ready to start its final printed arc in comic book form. The future of Buffy past then is unknown, but it has been a treat for Buffy The Vampire Slayer fans.
