Willow the Vampire Slayer.

[Dub]

Boom comics are releasing The Vampire Slayer. Only this time Willow is the slayer.

"After the events of the past few years, fighting against the forces of evil nonstop, Buffy Summers finds herself succumbing to the burden of bearing the Slayer mantle. To help his Slayer, Rupert Giles risks turning to chaos magic, and with Willow's help, they attempt a spell to remove the trauma from Buffy's psyche. But the effects backfire and leave Buffy unable to remember her past or her purpose! With Sunnydale under attack, a surprising new Slayer must rise to protect the world, while Buffy's friends race against the clock to restore her true self before it's too late…" - Boom Studios synopsis

Looks like it set in high school so no idea if Tara will show up. Seems like its part of their Buffy multiverse.

Spoiler for the first issue:

Spoiler:

Tara shows up.

At a date. With Willow.

WOOHOO! Now we wait for how many issues until they kill her off. I mean I still accept the Last Slayer line they did because she had a life but still. Just let her live.

I am catching up on these, I'm not sure how I feel about them yet- I think they are better written than most of the Booms- and I like the issues of trauma and responsibility they explore - but I'm not fully invested-
The Booms have just been so all over the place- and not always great toward Tara - with the exception of The Last Slayer-
what are everyone's thoughts on Willow as Slayer? (I didn't read any Tara date scenario- did I miss it, or subconciously remove Tara from any Boom related shenanigans? Also, SERIOUSLY isn't that blonde from the Willow offshoot most definitely Tara- I mean- she's Tara right?)

Anyway- I wanna like the Booms- but they fall a bit flat

Shit, you're right. I was thinking of the 25th Anniversary issue.

It could be. I'm not entirely sold on it on the sole reason that, for fanservice/marketing reason, they'd say it out loud and kind of make it a big deal when she did show up.

The 25th anniversary thing was just rude. Really unkind to fans of Tara.

You have a good point about the Willow offshoot- there was a moment when Willow and the Taraish blonde first saw each other and gasped or wowed or whatever so I thought maybe something was going from there but it totally could have just been me looking for something
