Buffy's back!!! sort of...


For ya'll 'watchers' that have been under a rock, Joss Whedon has been planning a comic book on Buffy's adventures after the series, like a 'season 8.' On the latest TV Guide, there is an exclusive picture above. The comic is being released by Dark House of course. Pieces from interviews, Buffy will be in a relationship with the Immortal (Angel season 5 "The Girl in Question"). Whedon reveals that there will be a few Angel favorite characters including Buffyverse characters. He can work at a grand scale now and be around the which is exactly where everyone is. Buffy is leading an assault team of Slayers, above I don't see any familiar characters. I am so excited, I'm so going to get an issue. There is 25 to 30 planned issues and he will write 8 and writers from the show will do the rest. It will be launched in MARCH 2007.

Let's see.. if a regular TV season is 22 episodes long and this starts several months after the Hellmouth's destruction, then it might not be set right when Angel and Co took over the Los Angeles offices of Wolfharm and Hart. So it must be 2003 or 2004. We'll see...
