I dig their new wardrobe. As a contemporary re-imagining I think they work. I'm interested that they appear to be using Anya so early in the reboot, I loved Anya but surprised she's showing up. I love that Giles hasn't changed at all, Librarian chic will never die!
I think I'm going to give the new book a shot. Visually my only disappointment is that they're sticking so clearly to the actor's likenesses. Which I get, it's a licensed book that comes with likenesses. I just found that many of the Dark Horse artists kind of branched out from them. They focused more so on drawing Buffy Summers than Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers. I respected that.

They look good.

The designs look great. I especially love Drusilla. Anya showing up so early is also a surprise.
The absence of Angel and Cordelia is a bit annoying. Is Whedon and Dark Horse's complete apathy towards Angel and his entire half of the mythos extending to Boom?
Though in fairness, I didn't see Oz either. I wonder if they'll swap him out for Tara?
Cordy and Oz have been on Variant covers. Angel however hasnt been seen at all but I saw an interview today which said:
My guess- Angel is the SpoilerAs you can see, Jordie and Dan have some huge plans for Buffy and the Gang – starting with some pretty major introductions of characters like Anya and…well, I won’t spoil that one quite yet. But let’s just say by issue #4, it’ll be clear that this is a love letter to the Buffy we all adore and will go in directions that no one ever expected.
