It’s happened, guys. On the 17th of April, issue four of the Boom! Studios Buffy the Vampire Slayer rebooted comics dropped. We were teased with threats to the Scooby gang, a potential death, and Dru and Spike causing mayhem. So did it live up to expectation? First things first, I was pleasantly surprised by Eric-the-boyfriend’s involvement in this issue. Joyce’s new boyfriend was a character I was somewhat ambivalent towards in the previous issues, and I also wasn’t convinced he’d last long. While I still worry about Eric’s potential death, I am also now hoping he may prove useful to the gang as it is revealed he is- in fact- a doctor. He’s also, apparently, more observant than Joyce, as he questions Buffy on her sudden desire to wear sweaters around the house, and also the number of scrapes and bruises she’s trying to keep hidden. He offers Buffy his support and an ear to bend should she need to, and I can’t help but consider how useful it would be to have a medical profession
