Home Economics Has Never Been Scarier As Buffy’s High School Years Continue

With anticipation building for Eisner Award–winning author Faith Erin Hicks’s Buffy: The High School Years—Freaks & Geeks, Dark Horse Comics announced the next installment in the young adult series this fall with Kel McDonald and Yishan Li’s Buffy: The High School Years—Glutton for Punishment.

Set during Season 1 of the television series and executive produced by Joss Whedon, Glutton for Punishmentcontinues the humor and excitement as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her friends navigate the tumultuous balance of being both high schoolers and monster fighters.

“McDonald has a real affection for magical-world building,” says io9 of author Kel McDonald (Misfits of Avalon), who is returning to the Whedonverse to bring more monsters and high-school high jinks into the life of teenage Buffy!

When Buffy and Xander sign up for home ec, assuming it will be an extra-credit cakewalk, they aren’t aware that the teacher is a ravenous tiger demon in disguise. The demon’s unquenchable appetite has him kidnapping his top students and forcing them to cook for him, and when Xander claims some store-bought treats are his own creations, he becomes the demon’s next victim! It’s not enough that Buffy has to keep her grades up, but she also has to rescue her friends and fellow students—and give the tiger demon his just desserts!

Buffy: The High School Years—Glutton for Punishment is in stores October 19, 2016.
