“Destiny Free”

In "Destiny Free," Buffy is summoned by her Watcher, Merrick, for her first true test—facing a vampire in the flesh. Flashbacks reveal the fates of two past Slayers, one from medieval Europe and another in 18th-century Hong Kong, hinting at a legacy far older than she knows. Written by Joss Whedon, Christopher Golden, and Daniel Brereton, with art by Joe Bennett and inks by Rick Ketcham, Randy Emberlin, and J. Jadsen, the issue's bold colors by Jeromy Cox and Guy Major and sharp lettering by Ken Bruzenak bring Buffy’s awakening to life, all under a striking cover by Joe Bennett and Rene Micheletti.
