Slayers in the Buffyverse

By Jevon Phillips

Yes, we know it's Joss Whedon's world, but slayers belong to us all. On the heels of the news that the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie's original director, Fran Rubel Kuzui, and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, are working on a 'reboot,' we wanted to see who else were major slayers in the Buffyverse. The announcement included the tidbit that Whedon would apparently not be involved in the filmmaking, and the fact that the new movie would not include "Buffy" characters we've grown to know from the show's seven-year run.

Though almost a couple of thousand more were created after Willow's stunt with the Scythe in Season 7, there are still a few slayers who stood out. Because the comic book was known as Season 8, we can take that into account as well and take a look at the ones that have made a mark in the series' mythology.

Here's hoping that whoever or whatever comes next lives up to them.
