The Buffy 25th Anniversary story sees Buffy Summers going to a psychiatrist. At a time when she sees worried about her role in life.

And talking about the problems of a friend of hers.

Even if the psychiatrist does not entirely believe that this "friend" is on the level. After all, Buffy is the vampire slayer, is she not?

But as the psgtchiatrist vamps out, it is not Buffy who is wielding the stake.

But Willow. Willow The Vampire Slayer.

Looking most un-Willow-like and with a mysterious medallion with a pentagram on it. What might have occurred?

But that might explain the indeterminate title of The Vampire Slayer #1 (and Diamond may have to amend their listing). Expect to see Willow Rosenberg on the cover of The Vampire Slayer #1 when it is published on the 20th of April…
