Twilight#7
Buffy Summers and her Slayer army have suffered heavy losses throughout Season Eight and faced scores of threats new and old, but the one mystery connecting it all has been the identity of the Big Bad Twilight! In this penultimate volume of Season Eight, New York Times bestselling novelist and comics writer Brad Meltzer (The Book of Lies, Identity Crisis) joins series artist Georges Jeanty in beginning the buildup to the season finale in the story line that finally reveals the identity of Twilight! In the aftermath of the battle with Twilight's army, Buffy has developed a host of new powers, but when will the other shoe drop, and will it be a cute shoe, or an ugly one? Still reeling from the losses of war, Willow goes looking for missing allies, and discovers a horrifying truth about several of the Slayer army's recent ordeals. Adding to the mayhem is the unexpected return of Angel, in his Season Eight debut! This volume also features two stories from series creator and executive producer Joss Whedon! In the Willow one-shot, Whedon and Fray artist Karl Moline reveal for the first time what Buffy's witchy best friend was up to between Seasons Seven and Eight, with a mind-blowing cameo by a frequently requested character. And in "Turbulence," Joss spotlights the complicated relationship between Buffy and Xander with a conversation that changes it forever.
Brad Meltzer
Brad Meltzer doesn’t just write thrillers—he excavates the hidden pulse beneath the surface of history, government, and identity, crafting stories where secrets aren’t just plot devices but echoes of real-life mysteries. Whether he’s unraveling the buried truths behind the U.S. presidency or sending ordinary people into the heart of extraordinary conspiracies, his work blends the tension of high-stakes fiction with the intimacy of personal legacy.
Long before his novels became bestsellers or his characters landed on television screens, Meltzer was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, fascinated by comic books and presidential trivia. That blend of imagination and curiosity never left him. It shows in the way he writes—each book layered with codes, twists, and emotional weight, from The Inner Circle to The Book of Fate. He doesn't just thrill his readers—he invites them to look behind the curtain and ask: What if the stories we think we know are only the beginning?
