Bleeding Cool gets the word through secret inside sources – oh alright, from reading an Amazon solicitation – that Max Bemis and Marianna Ignazzi are creating a retro Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic book from Boom Studios, a one-shot called Buffy '97. Referencing the year that the TV show first aired, it will also be collected alongside content from the Buffy 25th Anniversary Special coming out in March. Max Bemis is best known as the singer/songwriter of the band Say Anything and the supergroup Two Tongues but in recent years has become well-known writing comics, including a Moon Knight run that will be heavily referenced in the upcoming TV show.
