Kevin Wada Draws Giles for March's Buffy the Vampire Slayer #3 Cover

Explosive publisher BOOM! Studios has revealed the cover for March's issue of their Buffy the Vampire Slayer "reimagining," featuring art by Kevin Wada showcasing Giles. BOOM! Executive Editor Jeanine Schaefer is here to up the word count on this article about an image with a quote from the press release:

There's a lot of important lessons in Buffy, but one of the most resonant and truest ones is this: librarians are total badasses. And, as Kevin Wada dreamily illustrates, they're pretty easy on the eyes, too. Rupert Giles has a huge role to play in this series and we'll learn that he's much more than he appears – and we don't just mean the fact that, if you haven't heard, he's quite good at playing an acoustic version of Stairway to Heaven.

The new series by writers Jordie Bellaire and Russ Manning, artist Dan Mora, and consultant Joss Whedon goes back to the beginning of the Buffy tales for a reimagining that puts your favorite characters in a more current setting. The first issue is set to hit stores next week in January, with final order cutoff next Monday.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1
(W) Jordie Bellaire (A) Dan Mora (CA) Taylor, Matt
• Go back to the beginning as the critically acclaimed pop culture phenomenon Buffy The Vampire Slayer is reimagined under the guidance of series creator Joss Whedon.
• This is the Buffy Summers you know, who wants what every average teenager wants: friends at her new school, decent grades, and to escape her imposed destiny as the next in a long line of vampire slayers tasked with defeating the forces of evil.
• But her world looks a lot more like the one outside your window, as Eisner Award-Nominated writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands) and Russ Manning Award-Winner Dan Mora (Saban's Go Go Power Rangers) bring Buffy into a new era with new challenges, new friends…and a few enemies you might already recognize. But the more things change, the more they stay the same, as the Gang faces brand new Big Bads, and the threat lurking beneath the perfectly manicured exterior of Sunnydale High confirms what every teenager has always known: high school truly is hell.
• WELCOME BACK TO THE HELLMOUTH, FOR THE FIRST TIME!

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
