On June 3rd, Dark Horse Comics will release Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires, a 40 page one-shot about a small Massachusetts town and what happens with a sultry vampress gets a taste for the high school crowd. The one-shot is written by Becky Cloonan, best known as the artist of such books as DEMO and Pixu. She’s joined by fellow Pixu alum Vasilis Lolos to draw the story, and the rest of the Pixu team – Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon – are rounding out the group providing a alternate cover.
For Cloonan, it’s her feature-length debut as a writer and for Buffy fans it should prove to expand on the world and recent events in the primary Buffy in which vampires are known to the world at large. No matter what camp you are from, with the creators Eisner pedigree and popular source material – it should be a intoxicating ride.

I will most certainley pick it up. I've had almost no exposure to Becky Cloonan's work, except for seeing that one sketch she did for Arn at last years Con
, so I'm curious to see how she does. Also, Cloonan has worked primarily as an artist within the comic industry and this is, her first time writing a full length story so that has piqued my interest as well.
