Hellmouth is an upcoming event that will be featured in both the Angel and Buffy comics from BOOM! Studios. This is the event that will introduce the two titular characters and I’m sure fans are dying to see how it all unfolds. Well, the official prelude to the event will happen in Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 which is written by Jordie Bellaire with artist David López. The main cover is from Marc Aspinall with a Hellmouth Connecting Cover from Kelly & Nicole Matthews, and variant covers from Becca Carey, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Kevin Wada, and more.
“The road to Hellmouth begins in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #8, where the Slayer meets Angel for the very first time! Buffy’s on patrol at her school’s Halloween dance, but instead of demons and monsters, she finds a stranger in a mask who seems to be watching her every move. Meanwhile, across town, someone close to the Scooby Gang makes a fateful decision that has dire consequences for Sunnydale, and leads directly to the event that will change Buffy and Angel’s lives forever in…the HELLMOUTH.”
Executive Editor Jeanine Schaefer said this in a release:
“It’s the moment every fan has been waiting for since Angel first appeared in our all-new Buffyverse. While we may know them as meant-to-be, this Buffy and Angel are a pair of strangers who have been leading very different lives on separate paths. But now all roads lead to the Hellmouth, meaning these two heroes will finally meet face to face, altering the fates of everyone in the Buffyverse forever!”
You can see a preview of Buffy #8 below and it will be available where you buy your comics on September 4.
