If you’ve not read the first issue of the ninth season of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, we’re about to give away a huge SPOILER from the final pages of the issue. If you don’t want to know, stop reading NOW!
Since jumping to the comic book page, Buffy Summers has continued to grow and develop. Along the way there have been some interesting twists, including the identity of Twilight last year and Buffy’s exploring a different side of her sexuality.
But the latest issue of the comic book series may have one of the biggest surprises yet.
Last warning…if you don’t want to know stop reading now!
On the final page, it’s revealed that Buffy is expecting. The final panel shows Buffy holding a positive pregnancy test.
Part of what makes this so controversial is its execution. Writer Andrew Chambliss makes a point of saying that Buffy is no longer a girl now that she’s with child. One might imagine there are a host of grown women who have never borne children who might take offense at the idea they are still “girls.”
Of course, we don’t yet know the identity of the father of Buffy’s child. We assume as season nine progresses, all will be revealed.
