History ComicBook / BuffyTheVampireSlayerBoomStudios

Rather than continue the story as Dark Horse did, Boom! is doing what it did to ''[[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''; rebooting ''Buffy'' and updating it for TheNewTens. The series follows Buffy in her early days as Sunnydale High, fighting evil alongside the Scooby Gang.

[[note]]Willow's earlier acceptance of herself could arguably be TruthInTelevision due to the setting update, with much more support available for LGBT teens now than there was 20 years ago. Having normalised depictions of LGBT relationships in media increase in this time could also be a contributing factor, so in a roundabout meta way, Willow literally helped herself![[/note]]
