BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER WILLOW ONE SHOT |
|
Joss Whedon (W), Karl Moline (P/Cover), Andy Owens (I), Michelle Madsen (C), and
Jo Chen (Cover)
Willow Rosenberg has worn many faces-a shy computer geek, a loyal friend, a
passionate lover, a fierce Wiccan, and a dark Willow. Now in Season Eight of the
critically acclaimed, award-winning Buffy comics series, Willow's powers have
grown exponentially. She can fly. Teleport. And may or may not be immortal. All
we know is that Willow went on a walkabout following the demise of Sunnydale,
and she met a very sultry, extremely powerful serpent lady who seems to be the
key to unraveling the mysteries of what Willow is, and will become.
