Season 8 of the TV Show...in Comic Book Form!

Joss misses his famous creation, too. Which is why he's returning to it three years after the show's final episode with a new comic book series, slated to debut in March, that continues Buffy's adventures. Whedon is running the comic as if it were a TV show; after writing the first four issues (a premise-establishing pilot), he'll oversee other scribes who will write the remaining issues (think: episodes) in what is planned to be 25-to-30-issue saga. ''We're calling it season 8,'' says Whedon, ''and we're picking up almost right after season seven left off. I don't know exactly why it or how it happened. I just thought, 'Oh, I could do that! It would be fun!' It happens to me every now and then, and causes me to commit to things I really don't have time for.''

In talking about the new series, Whedon confirmed that the project’s roots go back to a plan to continue Buffy on film. ''I had been thinking about doing some TV movies based on Buffy characters, but we could never get anything resembling financing together that was realistic, so it fell by the wayside,” Whedon said. “But that whole failed endeavor made me start thinking about what would happen next, and what the stories and mythology would be. I realized there was a lot to say, and it could make for a really fun comic book.''

Whedon will write the first four issues of the new series, and will then pull back to oversee other writers on the project, modeling it after television production. While the bulk of the writers coming on the series had not been named, it has been revelaed elsewhere that Jeph Loeb has signed on for an arc.
