10 Biggest Changes In Boom! Studios’ Buffy Reboot

10. The Scoobies Are Inevitable

Then:

Buffy met the core Scoobies on her first day at Sunnydale High. Xander helped after she accidently spilled the contents of her purse, including a stake, in the school corridor. Buffy took Willow under her wing after she witnessed Cordelia’s cruelty towards her. Giles freaked her out immediately presenting her with the Vampyr, “the Slayer handbook”. However, many viewers forget there was another friend. Jesse, a long-term friend of Xander and Willow, was sired by Darla in the first episode and accidently staked by Xander in the second.

Now:

Boom! Studios’ Buffy opens with ‘The Chosen One’ working “octo-gunk duty” at Tuna Verse. In the original series, Buffy avoided fast food employment until season six. She knows only one person in Sunnydale, Giles. She notices Xander and Willow goofing around while she listlessly works. The pair are fortunate that Buffy is on a break when they are attacked by vampires. Though she outs herself as a Slayer, there is an instant rapport between the three. With Willow remarking “you’re weird, I like you”.
