That makes sense sadly :( I know they have done a lot with different slayers from the past in the comics, but I’m guessing they never sold in anything like the same numbers as the comics with the Buffy name on the front, and I’m sure that the marketing people are very aware of that
You see the same attitude with the new tv series being discussed, they were keen originally to promote it as a Buffy remake, even though the creator has said since that she does want it to feature a new slayer and a new cast of characters, but the impression I can is that the higher ups cannot imagine relaunching the franchise with just slayer and leaving off the Buffy name all together
