Xander Harris, Now A Queer Young Man In Boom's Vampire Slayer Comics
The new Vampire Slayer series from Boom Studios written by Sarah Gailey has changed things around a bit. Willow is the new Slayer and always was. Giles the Watcher is based out of the Transmogrification Emporium instead of the school library.
Buffy Summers is not herself and, rather than Willow, is now Xander's lifelong friend since they were kids in Sunnydale.
And Xander Harris from the TV series, in retrospect seen as a classic example of the toxic heterosexual male, has been reinvented, as a gay or bisexual young man. Though he still has his own issues.
A Xander Harris who never cheats? He really is a new man, rocking a Push Back rainbow shirt with Bisexual Flag colours in Vampire Slayer #1.
This new first Xander Harris appears in the Buffy Anniversary Special #1 and is now in The Vampire Slayer #1, with #2 out next month.
