Buffy The Vampire Slayer Comic Crosses Over With S03E06 Band Candy

Boom Studios has been making a big thing of Buffy The Vampire Slayer #25, out next month, but couldn't really say why because, you know, spoilers. But #24 came out yesterday, and yes, this could be quite a thing for Buffy fans. They have been pushing the concept of the Buffy multiverse, with differing versions of different characters, but yesterday they made the jump.

With Xander Harris turning full toxic male vampire, and getting dusted…

Only for Willow to go full Dark Willow, refuse to accept his death, and rip the universe apart looking for what might remain of him.

And sucking most-everyone into the rip. Including Wesley and the ghost of Ethan Rayne. Who find themselves somewhere else.

With a familiar milk chocolate bar.

And Giles and Joyce Summers, in their teenage regressed selves…

…halfway through the Buffy season 3 episode 6 story Band Candy.

One of the most loved by Buffy fans, the first episode fully written by Jane Espenson, as thanks to Ethan Rayne and his tainted chocolate bars, the adults of Sunnyvale are all acting like teenagers, and Giles' accent reverts to his ripper days.

At this moment, he has just smashed a clothes shop window before getting Joyce a coat she liked the look off, before having sex on a police car. You know, like all teenagers do.

But more significantly, this is an indication that Buffy characters from the Boom Studios continuity are being sent through the Buffyverse into episodes from the TV show continuity – which could now play out very differently. This one time? At Band Candy?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer #9 from Boom Studios teased this episode with a variant cover – could other covers indicate which other Buffy TV episodes are to be revisited? Here's a look at the upcoming solicitations.
