Buffy the Vampire Slayer: False Memories #[nn]

In "Remember the Beginning," Buffy grapples with the unsettling truth that her sister Dawn is more than she seems—a mystical Key whose memories were implanted by supernatural forces. As a Japanese vampire arrives in Sunnydale with a deadly mission, Buffy’s bond with Dawn is tested when her sister reminds her of a past act of courage and reveals a startling secret: two centuries ago, there was no Slayer. The issue ends with Buffy returning from patrol to find Dawn gone, leaving her to confront the growing mystery—and the fragile trust between them. Written by Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe, with art by Cliff Richards and inks by Joe Pimentel and Will Conrad, and a cover by Keith Wood.
