Covers and solicitation for Buffy S11 #4.

https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/02...overs-giles-4/

Exclusive First Look at Covers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles #4

Posted by Dan Wickline February 13, 2018

Dark Horse has sent us an exclusive first look at the cover and variant cover for Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles #4, the final issue of the miniseries written by Joss Whedon and Erika Alexander with art by Jon Lam. The cover is by Steve Morris while the variant is by Arielle Jovellanos.

The series has the de-aged Giles enrolling in a public school to investigate why teachers are mysteriously disappearing. Harkening back to the series original roots as a show set in a high school, Giles explores a very different school system from what he was used to at Sunnydale High. And while there he has discovered a mysterious girl named Roux and a demon under the school… definitely public school. Final issue of the miniseries.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles #4 (of 4)

Joss Whedon (W), Erika Alexander (W), Jon Lam (A), Dan Jackson (C), Steve Morris (Cover), Arielle Jovellanos (Variant cover)

On sale May 16 FC, 32 pages $3.99 Miniseries

Teen-aged Rupert Giles made his return to high school and in the process uncovered a demon underneath the school, and a very-attractive-yet-mysterious girl, Roux. As he prepares for the final showdown with the demon, Giles is troubled by revelations about Roux, and her extracurricular activities that aren’t the most savory.

Buffy Season 12 Announced.

https://www.cbr.com/buffy-the-vampir...n-gage-jeanty/

EXCLUSIVE: Joss Whedon Returns to Buffy for Dark Horse’s Season 12

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is back for Season 12 with a four-issue miniseries from Joss Whedon, Christos Gage and Georges Jeanty



Buffy the Vampire Slayer is back for a twelfth season, and so is creator Joss Whedon.

Dubbed Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning, Dark Horse Comics’ latest Buffyverse series will be co-written by Whedon and longtime Buffy writer Christos Gage, while Georges Jeanty returns to illustrate the characters’ adventures once again. This will be Whedon’s first time tackling a specific arc since 2011’s Buffy: Season Nine, while Gage previously worked on Buffy: Season 11; Jeanty’s last fulltime Buffy gig was on Season 8.

Picking up after the world-altering finale from Buffy Season 11, the series’ synopsis indicates that the Scooby Gang have had an uncharacteristically laid back year away from fighting the forces of evil. However, when Xander and Dawn’s housewarming is gatecrashed by some familiar faces, Buffy and her crew will reach for their stakes once again. Forced to battle with a legion of demons, Wolfram Hart and a vampire from the future called Harth, Buffy will apparently find herself trapped in a time warp that could end the Slayers forever.

With alternate futures clearly playing a big part, The Reckoning will once again bring back future Slayer Fray, who first appeared in 2001’s self-titled spin-off. The Reckoning will see the return of Faith and Angel, as well as fan-favorite Illyria, though whether they help or hinder the cause remains to be seen.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning #1 goes on sale on June 20 and will be available with three variant covers from artists Stephanie Hans, Georges Jeanty with Karl Story and Dan Jackson, and Karl Moline, which you can see for yourself in the gallery below.

The first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning will be able to pre-order from comic book shops in March.


.


Here's the link to the slidshow of all three covers.

Exciting news! There seems to have been indications in the initial publication that this would be a “4 issue mini.” Can @Christosgage @CBR @DarkHorseComics confirm if that was a typo and if so how many issues we can anticipate? Thanks!

We'll issue our own announcement soon, but in short, this is planned to be the finale season. We plan to do more Buffy adventures in the future, but this is the last in the "season" structure.

11:29 AM - 21 Feb 2018



They may do more Buffy comics in the future(I expect limited series stuff like The High School Years for example) but this is the last season.

Oh man, that makes me a bit sad.
Some time ago i was wondering when we will hear something.
i feared that it would end.

Really sad since i think season 10 and 11 have found a good ground to work.
I hope that we will still get Buffy related comics down the line, would be a shame if not.

Could this all have to do with Disney buying 20th century fox? I dont even know where the Buffy License even is, somehow i think about 20th century fox...dont know why.

Same. This makes me sad, too.

The idea of potential AU endings is interesting.... idk, I’ll have to see how they end it before I can decide if I’m okay with it or not

Dark Horse says they still plan to do occasional Buffyverse comics.It may be things like The hHgh School years or spin-offs.It depends on what happens in season 12.

Season 12 does seem to be the big battle fortold in the Fray miniseries all those years ago.



The one variant cover for S12 issue 1 even has the same exact demons on it

I've seen some speculation about that.But honestly,I think it's more Joss is ready to tell this story.

Former Buffy editior Scott Allie revealed in a Slayalive Q/A almost six years ago now during the start of the second year of season 9(season 9 was 25 issues each for both BTVS and A & F) that he and Joss had begun talking about giving Buffy a definitive end for her story.It was still a long way off though at that time(which it was.Again,this was almost six years ago).It seems Season 12 is that ending.

And that Fray tease that Joss wrote was from the Fray miniseries which ran from 2001-2003(it was 8 issues but suffered lots of release delays on certain issues hence wy it didn't conclude until 2003).So Joss wrote that tease when the shows were still on the air.This has must of been in his head for a long while.

There have been many miniseries that are Buffy canon but not strictly in the season format, such as the Willow and Spike spinoffs. Further comics will be more along these lines, still canon, and yes, Joss will continue to be involved in all Buffy comics.

EXCLUSIVE: Giles #2 (Preview)



Joss Whedon! Erika Alexander!

High school life is a rough go for Rupert Giles**-as if being a grown man living inside a teenage body wasn’t hard enough. Crushing on each other, Giles and his mysterious new friend, Roux, navigate around the bullies in the hallways while they investigate the school-wide threat and missing staff and students–which they are certain is connected to some kind of demon . . .

No, when you start writing to please anyone as opposed to what you think the best story is, it never produces good material.

What you see as pandering, the people making it thought made for the best story. Not saying that means it's "right" or "best" or whatever. You're free to feel it's bad. But writing just to please anyone - fans, the network, your Mom - never works out well.
