Buffy: Season 9 will see its first trade paperback collection in August.



Here's the official word...

"Series creator Joss Whedon has teamed up with Andrew Chambliss and Season 8 artist Georges Jeanty for the life-affirming, world-changing Season 9 of the smash hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Dark Horse Comics is proud to announce the first collection of the season with Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall!



Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic—culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls.

By day, Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though magic is gone, she's still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires!



Written by series creator Joss Whedon and Andrew Chambliss of the CW's The Vampire Diaries, Freefall collects Buffy Season 9 #1–#5!

On sale August 1, 2012."
