New Slayer Alert!!!!
Did anyone read Hellmouth issue#1?[/QUOTE]
Yes. It was alright. Without getting too negative, I don't think this book was ready to crossover yet.

me neither.
Ironically I felt Angel and Buffy should have switched plots. The vanity demon weaponizing social media feels like a better fit here.

It just won't be the same without being able to hear that terrible, terrible accent.

Was really hoping they'd hold off a long while on this. I'm all for bringing back Kendra, just as I eventually hope to see Faith, just wish it would have been in a new role. I just think the lore could have used really hammering home the special nature of the singular Slayer, as multiple Slayers became a pretty over-saturated concept.
But that quibble aside I'm enjoying this reboot very much.

Kendra could always be a Watcher.

Yes, I hardly feel Buffy has been made enough of the focus of her own book to have her suddenly missing and replaced feel all that special. Wild speculation but Kendra is getting a new stealth launch book in January or February.
-
I am a huge Faith fanboy, but Kendra got done dirty by the original show. Only three episodes and then she got killed off, and I don't think anybody cared past Becoming Part 2. I hope they get more use out of her before killing her off here, or find some other way to activate Faith and spare her.
-
A potential Kendra book would be an interesting challenge for the reboot.
They'd essentially have to create it from scratch as there wasn't alot there for her in the show.

Well, speaking of, latest issue seems to be going all in on one of the earlier twists. This issue also read alright but it made me realize that I really don't know what is going on with the actual Hellmouth story.

It feels set after the Hellmouth crossover. I think Buffy and Angel didn't return yet from fighting whoever Drusilla summoned. It might have been better if they finished the crossover first before doing a time-skip.

New Buffy one shot set to debut in April 2020. "Buffy: Every generation ".
EDIT- this could be how Dawn comes in.

Okay, what are these comics about? When are they set?
Is this basically the TV series redone?

It's a hard reboot set in the 2020s. It's more of its own take on Buffy's high school years than a complete redux.

So Angel is back this week with #9 after... I wanna say 2 months off. Honestly I'm still not sold on the Buffy book and Hellmouth didn't do much for me, but I'm loving Angel, could be because I'm primarily an Angel fan and I like Spike when he's fun not melodramatic
