Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer #4

The penultimate chapter of this 2022 BOOM! Studios miniseries arrives with a striking cover by Ario Anindito, depicting two determined young women standing back-to-back against a churning crimson sky — one gripping a sword with magical energy glowing at her fingertips, the other crouched and ready with a blade of her own. There's real chemistry between these two figures; their contrasting styles (teal hair and a jacket versus a punk-cut and flannel) suggest a partnership forged under pressure. With Casey Gilly writing and Joe Jaro and Joana Lafuente bringing the interiors to life, Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer continues to feel like a fresh, urgent vision of the Slayer mythology.
