Whedon Pens New Buffy Comic
From Dark Horse in October
May 23, 2006

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is writing a new six-issue Buffy mini-series for Dark Horse Comics. The first volume is due out in October. A Dark Horse spokesperson has confirmed to ICv2 that the new series chronicles events that happened to Buffy and her friends after the conclusion of their televised adventures and will function as a "Season 8" to the highly popular cult hit TV series that ran for seven seasons (see "Buffy Returns").

Even though the WB aired the final episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series three years ago (May 20th, 2003), reruns have extended the life of the popular property, which still supports a wide array of tie-in products including action figures from Diamond Select Toys, trading cards from Inkworks(a new series is due in August), and Cine-Manga from Tokyopop (see "Tokyopop's 'Buffy' Cine-Manga").

Hiya, E!

Nice to see-ish you, too. I'm always around; I'm just a professional-grade lurker.

I recognize that photo in your sig! What a great day, eh?

Joss comics are always a good thing. If you haven't read his Astonishin X-Men run, I highly recommend it. Chock-full of Jossy goodness.

Hells Kitten!!!!

So nice to see you. I've been thinking 'bout you lately and am personally inviting you to the Browncoat Bonfire at my house next month.

June 16th, plan to arrive some time 8-ish and leave when the black market beagles start howling at the sunrise.

Well, you could buy them and purposely not read them. Then on top of that, you can fold them and crinkle the pages and completely neglect to bag-n-board them. (That should make comic book fanboys cringe)

oh yes, I love Joss' Astonishing X-men (I just wish he had written the script for the movie that opens today... although, come to think of it, they did lift a lot of the script from those very same Astonishing X-men comics he wrote...).

I own all the comics Joss has written himself,
when we met at Wizard World I got autographs on Tales of the Slayer and Astonishing X-men vol. 1

And unlike Chrisisall I DO have them in bags with boards....

(Iie... For the record - such as it is - Jossy isn't the first X-Author to address the "mutant cure." It's been done many times throughout the ages, so one could - if one cared - claim that the new movie lifts a lot of stuff from all those other authors. JW just did it the bestest. )

So how about that Buffy season 8 thing, huh? (feeble attempt to get away from thread drifties)

Wonder if MPhillips should start pestering Dark Horse....

Oh I am totally excited about Buffy Season 8!
the only downside is the problems with ordering them;
Dark Horse will not sell directly and will recommend TFAW but they are NOT reliable.

I recommend that people tell their local store that they want these comics, and put in a 'pull' order (so they get them set aside for them when they arrive)

If you don't have a local comic books store then either at 258 West Authentic:
https://258west.com/index.php
or midtown comics in Manahattan (they mail to anyplace):
http://www.midtowncomics.com/

Joss wouldn't be doing these if he didn't have some stories he is dying to tell... so you know it'll be great!
