My affection for Archie comics has been well-documented here at ComicsAlliance, and I never love them more than when things get weird for the teenagers of Riverdale. Magical gender reassignment, hillbilly murderers with bad intentions, those are my favorite Archie stories...

We are not the mainstream. That's a truth understood by anyone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered or in any other way queer. We are not the audience. We are not the market. We are not the people. It's also a truth understood by a lot of people with a passion for comics...

It's common at this time of year to take stock of the last twelve months and reflect upon all that's changed. Monster hunters and vampire slayers are no different, as demonstrated by this delightful sketch by Duncan Fegredo. The brilliant illustrator of ComicsAlliance Best of 2011 pick Hellboy: The Storm and the Fury has depicted Joss Whedon's enduringly popular Buffy and Mike Mignola's apocalypti

On sale this week from Dark Horse is Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #1, continuing the adventures of Joss Whedon's plucky, cult favorite killer of bloodsuckers.

After half a decade at IDW Publishing, Angel and his supporting cast (including Spike and Illyria) are headed back to original comic publisher Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse teased the transition in its column at the end of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley" one-shot on Wednesday, before releasing an official press release along with IDW yesterday evening...

As "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon ramps up his run on Dark Horse's comic book conclusion to season 8, it's become increasingly clear that even the book's most popular characters aren't necessarily guaranteed a happy ending.
