The Reboot Comic takes place in an Alternate Universe.
- And it might get a crossover with the comic variation of the original series.
- Seemingly confirmed after the ending of Angel & Spike, where Fred takes the group through an interdimensional rift and they meet alternate versions of Angel and Spike.
- Also seemingly confirmed as of the end of issue #24 of Buffy.
Willow's girlfriend Rose will turn out to be a werewolf, taking on Oz's role in the early seasons.
- Bonus points if Oz is referenced (perhaps as an older sibling or relative, or maybe even the one who turned Rose)?
The Slayer line isn’t Always Female.
- The “Created By” page that opens up for each issue includes the “Into every generation a slayer is born” phrase, except that “she” is replaced by “they”. This hints that it is possible for males to be Slayers in this continuity (possibly Wood, if his comment that he broke his arm falling off a roof wasn’t a throwaway line).
- The idea of Wood being a slayer seems to be Jossed, as it turns out he is a Watcher instead. However, the possibility of male Slayers remains a very open possibility.
There will be no vampire romances with Buffy until after she's out of high school.
- Both Angel and Spike have been moved over to their own comic early, are largely separate from Buffy and her high school antics and thus far, there's been little to no romantic tension between her and either of them. It's unlikely that either, let alone both, of Buffy's original main Love Interests are being written completely out of those roles. Given that following Twilight there's been a lot of scrutiny given towards large-age-gap supernatural-teenage pairings, perhaps the writers intend to save those relationships until Buffy's out of high school to avoid that?
- Plus Angel has his own relationship arc happening with Kate, who is the reincarnation of his one true love.
Lilith is Doyle's mother in this continuity
- If Doyle (whose role is similar to Lilith's) shows up in this continuity, then his half-demon heritage could be changed to his maternal side to tie them together.
Kendra will survive here
- The fact that she's been given several of Faith's traits indicates that Faith might not appear.
- Faith has arrived as of issue #19, but what that means for Kendra remains to be seen.
Fred will become more like her show counterpart as a result of Character Development
Sandy Noxon wasn't killed but sired, and will show up later on
- There was a vampire named Sandy in the show.
Faith and Buffy will become a couple
- It was already teased in an earlier issue where we saw them kissing, and given that the Angel/Buffy and Spike/Buffy relationships seem to have been nuked...
Morgan and Buffy will become Fire-Forged Friends and work to reform the Watchers' Council instead of fighting it.
