"This story takes place after the events in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 11, created by Joss Whedon."

THE COMPLETE SEASON 12 COLLECTED TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME Following the world-altering finale of Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 11, Buffy and the Scoobies have had a laid-back year in the saving-the-world department. But as they’ve learned over their years of fighting the forces of darkness and thwarting many an apocalypse, nothing stays quiet for long. When Dawn and Xander’s housewarming party is crashed by some familiar faces (Angel!) with news of an amassing force that must be reckoned with — Wolfram & Hart, a legion of demons, and Harth, a vampire from the future — Buffy finds herself in a time warp that could alter the fate of the world and could spell the end for Buffy, her friends, and the Slayers, forever. Visionary series creator Joss Whedon returns with New York Times bestselling writer Christos Gage (Superior Spider-Man) and more acclaimed creators present the next chapter in the official continuation of the critically-acclaimed television series. Collects Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 12 #1-4 and Giles: Girl Blue #1-4.

Rededicated to the Slayer mission, Buffy is reducing the zompire population one by one - until she is ripped from the middle of a battle and transported to LA. The demon Illyria and a mystical council make the Slayer an unwilling recruit in a team formed to take down an increasingly powerful enemy, the Siphon. Having regained his strength after a brutal battle with Buffy, he's back in action, gathering power and endangering whatever remnants of magic linger in the world.

Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls.

Vampires are becoming an epidemic... of zompires! Collects Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #1 - #5. * Written by series creator Joss Whedon and Andrew Chambliss of ABC's One Upon a Time!
