☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the four-issue 'Haunted' miniseries from 2002, which follows Buffy Summers as she confronts a ghostly presence tied to a mysterious artifact. The story delves into themes of loss and unresolved trauma, featuring key Scooby Gang members like Willow, Xander, Giles, and Oz, with appearances by Angel and Cordelia Chase. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Cliff Richards, this volume offers a standalone supernatural mystery set during the post-television series era of the Buffyverse.
In "Haunted [Part 1]," Willow’s recent attack reveals a chilling connection between two vampires—one that targeted Giles, another that attacked her—both sharing the same haunting consciousness. As the Initiative's secrets unravel, a vengeful Principal Snyder takes control of a dead body, unleashing a deadly confrontation before fleeing into the shadows. With dreams guiding her, Buffy tracks down Faith’s apartment, only to find Snyder’s spirit manifesting in a grotesque new form. Written by Jane Espenson and illustrated by Cliff Richards, with inks by Júlio Ferreira, colors by Jeromy Cox, and letters by Clem Robins, this gripping first chapter sets a tense, supernatural tone. The cover by Cliff Richards captures the eerie atmosphere perfectly.
In "Haunted [Part 1]," Buffy is haunted by a chilling dream in which Faith stabs her—leaving her unsettled when the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur. Meanwhile, the spirit of Principal Snyder, now bound to the dead, takes control of a vampire’s body to hunt Buffy, turning the school’s familiar halls into a battleground of fear and deception.
In "Haunted [Part 2]," Buffy confronts the lingering horror of Principal Snyder’s possessed corpse, leaving Giles wounded and vulnerable. As Giles recovers, Buffy slips into a dream where Faith reappears—her presence twisted, summoning Angel with a chilling warning: “You're already dead.”
In "Haunted [Part 3]," Principal Snyder’s vengeful spirit, now bound to another vampire, targets Hogan Martin, a graduation survivor, before turning his wrath on Willow. As he closes in on Buffy, Willow’s magic offers a desperate escape—just as soldiers from the Initiative move in to capture the spectral threat.
In "Haunted [Part 4]," Willow grapples with the chilling realization that two separate attacks were driven by the same haunting consciousness. As Buffy follows dreams to Faith’s apartment and uncovers the truth behind Principal Snyder’s spectral presence, the trio of Willow, Xander, and Buffy must confront the lingering threat before summer begins.
