BOOM! ACQUIRES BUFFY RIGHTS
BOOM! Studios has announced it has acquired the comic-book and graphic-novel publishing license to Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. BOOM! Studios will release new monthly comic book series, limited series, original graphic novels and more that officially expand the rich mythology created in television, novels and beyond, in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.
Created by writer and director Joss Whedon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer premiered on the WB Network on March 10, 1997. The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997-2003, starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers. Chosen to battle vampires, demons and other forces of darkness, Buffy is aided by a Watcher who guides and teaches her as she surrounds herself with a circle of friends called the Scooby Gang.
"I remember watching the premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer over twenty years ago, and the feeling of empowerment that came with seeing a girl get to kick ass and have flaws at the same time, and to not apologize for who she was. It's an honor to oversee that world for a new generation and to bring them that same feeling of knowing your greatest power comes from being true to who you are," said Jeanine Schaefer, editor, BOOM! Studios.
"Buffy is about love at its core, love for your friends and yourself. The characters are allowed to be equal parts human and monster, and seeing them struggle to balance those parts of themselves, the same parts we all struggle with, is why it still resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds today."
WYNONNA EARP: "THE OTHER WOMAN"
Syfy has released images and details from "The Other Woman," the episode of Wynonna Earp premiering on Friday, September 21.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"A mysterious woman who knows a little too much about the Earps arrives on the Homestead with a special mission for Wynonna and Waverly. The rest of the team must wrangle a deadly fire witch."

IDW'S ROCKETEER REBORN
The Rocketeer, the pulp-inspired hero immortalized by the late Dave Stevens, blasts off once more in December with the first issue of a new five-issue IDW Publishing series: Rocketeer Reborn.
Writers Elsa Charretier and Pierrick Colinet -- collaborators on Star Wars Adventures and The Infinite Loop -- and artist Javier Pulido reintroduce an all-new jetpack wearing hero into the 21st century.
Here's how IDW describes the book:
"In Rocketeer Reborn, eighty years have passed since Cliff Secord first found an experimental jetpack and soared through the skies as a high-flying hero. Now, decades later, The Rocketeer is all but forgotten to most people, a legend of a bygone era. When Cliff's jetpack is found in a most unexpected way, it's a race for those with good and evil intent to grab hold, strap on, and take off for adventure!"
"It's an immense honor for us to contribute to Dave Steven's legacy, and a big responsibility as well -- making sure we stay true to the spirit of the character for both old and new fans alike. We hope people will find a fresh, pulp-noir, modern Rocketeer, as Javier Pulido's wonderfully unique style and inventive storytelling bring this new adventure to life," said Charretier and Colinet in a statement.
