FedCon 27 | Vortrag | FedCon 2018 | Buffy: Weiterleben im Comic

Last year, the TV series Buffy – the Vampire Slayer celebrated 20 years of screen anniversary . At the end of season 8, Mastermind Joss Whedon decided that he wanted to continue the adventures of the hunter in comic form. With great success!

Accompanied by the spin-off series Angel, Angel & Faith and various special publications, Buffy has already arrived at the 11th season and an end is not necessarily in sight. Joss Whedon, who continues to set the course of the story and has gathered around him a tribe of great writers and artists who create a “Buffy feeling” very close to the TV series, has not yet finished telling his slayer’s story.

In the lecture, Steffen Volkmer, editor of the German Buffy comics, summarizes where the slayer and her gang travelled to after the TV series and where the difference or similarities of the TV and the comic version lie.

Lecturer: Steffen Volkmer

Duration: 60 min - The Lecture will be held in: german
