where Joss does say something about the Buffy comic

Quote:
BENDIS: [Laughs] Oh, speaking of, I saw on the board tonight they announced the new Buffy comic. You’re gonna write a new Buffy comic?

WHEDON: I am, in fact. This was originally a concept that was designed to tie in to some Buffy movies that are probably not going to happen. So now the comic is out there twisting in the wind by itself. But I have this arc; this concept of what I refer to as “Season 8” of “Buffy,” which is the “What happens next?” Although it’s very much more comic book in scale and style and time frame. Everyone’s like, “What week will it pick up during?” And I’m like, “It’s not quite like that.”

What I’m doing is working with George Jeanty. He’s gonna be drawing the first four, which I’m writing. And Jo Chen’s gonna do the covers. I’m a huge fan of hers. I have this arc laid out which I’m sort of writing up as where I want the series to go and then I’m gonna be bringing in anybody from the camp or any of our friends who have the time to do arcs within that. Just sort of servicing certain beats and then going off on their own. Because at this point, it’s sort of fair game. There are certain characters I’ve been saving because I thought I might make movies about them, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

BENDIS: Why isn’t that going to happen?

WHEDON: I think money is standing in the way. What is ever in the way? What ever makes anything happen or not happen?

HONKS

I hope it is set after Ats S5...
but actually I don't care:
I'm sure Joss has a serious arc worked out because evidently it will be 20 issues long and will have some of those issues written by some of our favorite BtVS writers (Joss will write most of them himself)

Just in case anyone's interested, Georges Jeanty has been chosen as the 'Buffy' artist. I've heard good things about him.

Here's a link to a "First Look" article, with a preview of the cover art:

Wow. The cover art is incredible, probably the best drawing of Buffy I have seen. There is just something about her that ususally doesn't come through in drawings...

I am excited about Buffy Comic Season 8. Really, if you can't have a new TV season, then comics are the next best alternative. I love books, but they rarely work for TB shows. They are just too different, too internal, to ever really work. Comics, while you have still lost the preformance aspect, have a strong visual element. The drawings can speak. It's all quite cool.
