I knew it, I knew it! Apparently there's an interview with Joss in the new BUFFY/ANGEL magazine (read this on Whedonesque, haven't gotten my copy yet) where he says he's talking to the writer of Spike:Asylum about writing a sort of Season 6 (post-"Not Fade Away") cannon story!!!

I can't believe I'm getting this excited about comic books!!! Gorram it, Joss! First musicals, then sci-fi and westerns and country-fried music, and now comics!!

Okay, so now we can REALLY start speculating as to what's up with these characters post-series.

I'm excited about this too...
they Angel Season 6 will evidently be written by the same guy who has been writing Spike: Asylum, and he has shown that he can do the humor and the action with a lot of imagination.

I am REALLY hoping that Wesley's control freak Father has raised his lifeless corpse... I'll accept any kind of zombie (because I'm confident that Willow could figure out a way to 'save his soul' while he continues his undead existence...
(crossing my fingers and knocking on wood)

It'll probably be a wait until this gets made & hits the stores, but just knowing it is coming is exciting.

Would LOVE to have Wes back!!!! Not that it would be remotely the same without Alexis, but still. If there was any way I'd be "okay" with Gunn becoming a vamp, which was the original intention with tv Season 6 and/or tv movies, that'd be it. Let us keep one of our humans!!!

yeah the humans were always fairly few, and had a tendency to die....
where did you hear that Gunn would be a vampire?
That is kind of cool considering his deeply held feelings, I would think his anti-vampire feelings might have been SO strong that there would be a self loathing there....

Have you gotten a hold of Buffy's Season 8 first issue yet?

I'm remebering that Forrest had pretty deep hatred of demons until he became one (partially) as a result of Adam. I don't know I guess some things remain when someone becomes a vamp. Spike's ability to love, Willow's eventual bi-sexuality, etc.

No, haven't gotten my copy yet. According to an email from TFAW, it won't be shipping to me until March 21. Probably because I chose to have it shipped the cheapest way. I'm stupid, I know...but at least I have a little more time to continue my marathon (currently on "Help") without the temptation to cheat!

Have you read it yet? If so, let me know how it was, but please don't spoil me...I'm committed to staying spoiler-free from now on!

OMG I didn't realize you hadn't finished the 6 seasons of Buffy yet (or is this a rewatching/refresher marathon?)!

No, no spoilers: but I am VERY happy... one issue per month is a long time to wait, but at least in your case you won't have to wait quite as long for the 2nd issue!

I'm also subscribing from TFAW, but I couldn't wait and I was lucky enough to get the last copy at my local comic book store (they are not reliable, that is why I went ahead and subscribed). I have friends to mail my extra copies to, so I didn't mind picking up one that will be a duplicate.

Sorry, I forgot to reply to your question about Gunn. I read in several places at the same time it was reported that the tv movies were officially dead in the water, the BUFFY/ANGEL mag would be one, but also other sites on the internet. Joss, J. August Richards, and Amy Acker have all said something about it.

Of course it's a refresher course for me! I actually have repeat marathons at least 2 or 3 times a year. Last Saturday was my 10th Anniversary with the show. Been a fanatic since Day 1! "Help" is the fourth ep. in Season 7.

This would be great (the Angel comic), but I have a couple reservations ...

First I would disagree with everyone about Wes being alive. He was a brilliant character, but his arc was so beautifully constructed from his days a bumbling idiot on Buffy through to the man dying in Ilyiah's arms in the series finale. It's so damn well done. Keep it closed.

For what it's worth I also really loved the idea that at the end, they all die. It was also a great way to cap the series with the message Whedon had been developing. For Season 6 I would suggest maybe continuing forth with Spike, but that's probably it ... I don't know. I always get feelings like this and then whatever Whedon does I end up feeling like "ok that's perfect!"
