For those who like Buffy...

[vacantlook]

I know there is at least one person on this board other than me that really likes Buffy, so I thought I'd be sure to spread this on...

Whedonesque posting by Joss

The relevant part:

Speaking of Darkhorse Comics, they are starting a new Buffy comic, and as I understand it, it will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel and be canon in the Buffy world. And I understand it that way 'cause I'M WRITING IT. I'm kicking off the book with a four issue arc that finds Buffy -- you guessed it -- living in Italy with The Immortal. (Scott -- don't be mad I spoiled the announcement -- saying it means I have to finish it.) Then I'll be overseeing the book more closely, to make sure it remains true. Gonna be interesting. And it just might tie in to...

The infamous Spike movie. Still haven't finalized anything, but I feel that very soon I'll be able to go to James and say something a lot more interesting than "Wouldn't it be cool if..." 'Course, I just hope he's free some time this decade. See how my peeps is all actifying! Tomorrow night is AMIAS, (that's alias with Acker in it.) Happy. And totally jealous.

See, the Buffyverse glows in my brain with a new, overreaching arc that will include the comics, Spike, and more. It's taking shape and soon you will know its name. And you will tremble.

Yeah, I saw this last week. It had me giggling in giddy anticipation all morning.

Did you edit that post? Because I distinctly recall Joss writing something else absolutely wonderful:

This is why there's a me!

All I can say is, read my sig....

Did you edit that post?

Joss wrote much more than the specific piece I quoted, so it's probably still in his post.

I really have no interest in seeing a Spike movie at all. I'm actually kinda done with the Buffyverse.

I've heard that while Joss himself will be writing the comics, he's entrusted the Spike movie to Tim Minear. Minear's essentially his right-hand man these days, so I expect it'll be pretty good. (Minear wrote or co-wrote four Firefly eps and directed two of them, and I know he did some Buffyverse stuff as well but I can't immediately lay my hands on how much or what it was he did.)
