Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
His note for page 21 is from issue #1. Whoops!
I finally picked up a copy of Drawing on Your Nightmares which introduces the Tales of the Vampires. Comments: Weird. I read that Joss wrote it - nope. Brett Matthews w/ art by Sean Phillips. There are no Jossverse characters at all I'm pretty sure. It looks different than any Buffy/Angel/Fray comic I've ever seen. The story isn't bad - but it's your average "how I got vamped" thing. But again, these ain't our vamps, I'm pretty sure. I've read that the comic will follow Buffyverse vamps - I just don't see them here.
Sorry to post this late, but Buffy # 62 came out yesterday, the next-to-last issue of the monthly series.
I found it to be interesting, and it actually had some interestingly disturbing horror visuals - a surprise in this book. Also, the action wasn't as straight-forward as past issues have shown, which is a good thing (but perhaps a tad confusing) in my book. If the monthly had more moments like these, I think it would have been a stronger title. However, they probably had to tone down horror elements for the franchise at 20th Century Fox's behest, and don't have to worry so much now that the book is ending.
This isn't exactly another media, but does another country count?
The BBC has also commissioned a British-based spin-off of the Buffy show, called The Watcher, which Buffy's creator, Joss Whedon, is writing. Now that Head is back at home with his partner Sarah Fisher and their two daughters, he hopes to divide his time between acting and working with animals that have behavioural problems.

Huh, so its finally official?
Hey, all. I'm trying to figure out which Fray(s) I haven't read (my brother currently has mine). How does 7 end?
How does 7 end?
Fray gets swallowed by a big snake.
Ok, I have no recollection of that. I must, therefore, have not read it. Thank you muchly, DX.
You know how Joss is with the big snakes. It's A Thing.
Vaguely on topic: JZ picked up a really cool children's book that I've been reading to Emmett for the last seveal weeks, The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish. Written by Neil Gaiman, illustrations by Dave McKean. It's keen.
