Writer Kelly Thompson is preparing the return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel with two new comics arriving in July. The story connects both main characters in Sunnydale, offering fans an opportunity to revisit the series' universe. However, characters like Gunn and Lorne will have a minor role at the beginning of the story arc.
The narrative development bets on continuity of the original lore 📖
Thompson uses a script structure that respects the series' chronology, integrating elements of classic mythology without relying on drastic reboots. The plot seems designed so that veteran readers find direct references to key episodes, while newcomers don't need to memorize every detail. The technical approach prioritizes agile dialogue and action sequences that maintain the pace without overloading with information.
Gunn and Lorne: the ones who arrive late to the party 🎉
As in any reunion of old friends, there are always two who miss the beginning. Gunn and Lorne will appear less at first, probably because they were arguing about who parked the van badly or because Lorne couldn't find a shirt to match his horns. But hey, we already know that in Sunnydale, supporting characters always have their moment of glory, even if it's to die heroically or to sing an off-key song.
