Buffy Faces the End in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: THE RECKONING Finale (Exclusive Preview)

Back in 2007, Dark Horse Comics revived the adventures of Buffy Summers and friends with the comic  Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8, the official continuation of the classic Joss Whedon TV series. Over the last 11 years, we’ve had four more seasons, and have seen the Chosen One deal with a world that was totally changed by the events of the original series finale. Now, with the four-issue season 12—”The Reckoning,” written by series creator Joss Whedon and Christos Gage—on the way, the story of Buffy Anne Summers is finally coming to a close.

This storyline concludes all the threads that began back in the first comic book season, and joins together not only the cast of characters from Buffy, but also characters from Angel and Joss Whedon’s future slayer mini-series Fray. Will all these slayers, vampires, and witches fighting together one last time be enough to save the world, or will Buffy die trying?

…To be fair, she’s died twice before and gotten better but what we are trying to say here is the stakes have never been higher for the Scoobies. But as Buffy once famously said “If the Apocalypse comes, beep me.”
