A story at Newsrama was posted today giving a lot more detail about the upcoming
Tales of the Vampires
mini-series. A brief rundown of the article reveals the following:
Joss has multiple stories that will be presented, the first one illustrated by Cameron Stewart, formerly the penciller on
Catwoman.
Drew Goddard is listed for 2 stories, one involving Dracula, one involving Spike and Dru.
Jane Espenson is on board for 2 stories, with one being an illustrated poem.
Brett Matthews (the co-writer of the
Angel
Vol 2 comic) will write a story.
Ben Edlund may be writing a story, and is definitely drawing the cover of the last issue of the mini-series, #5.
Drew Goddard is listed for 2 stories, one involving Dracula,
Yay Ultimate Drew but
grooooaaaannnnn
Dracula. I'm not a fan of Buffy v. Dracula (not the main storyline anyway, there are some great subplots, character moments in the ep for sure) and would prefer to NEVER see him in the Buffyverse again.
But also yay yay yay on the JE news. Just knowing that she is still involved somehow with the Buffyverse makes me infinitely happy.
Did anybody else ever see the mini-story of Tales of the Vampires in
Drawing on Your Nightmares?
by Brett Matthews. Am I wrong in not seeing any Buffverse characters in it?
1602 came out today.
And reading it, I intuited something. I have no proof that I am right, but I think
the Queen is not dead
.
I'll be interested in your reactions, CaBil, as I came out thinking the exact opposite.
Tina, I finally read the
Tales of the Vampires
story in
Drawing on your nightmares.
As far as I can tell, there were no recognizable Buffyverse characters in it, but they were all unnamed, so there could be a connection. I do think they were clearly MEverse vampires though, given the way they were drawn. I also think the TotV will be written like the
Tales of the Slayers
in that there are lots of Slayers we don't directly know from BtVS, but they clearly inhabit the same universe.
Can anyone explain the XVerse to me? In one comic, Xavier's
a comatose captive of a drug-addicted and loopy Magneto,
in another he's calmly
reassembling the New Mutants.
And Wolverine! He just
died, after killing Jean Grey,
except not, I'm sure. He's also with Nightcrawler
in Hell, learning that Satan is Kurt's dad.
CaBil, I kinda suspect what you do, mostly because
we haven't seen a body on the paper, or anything right up in her court.
But I'm not wedded to it.
ita, the thing that started the train of thought for me was
Doom learned of the posion from Reed? And Reed didn't think Doom would use that way? Reed is way to smart to fall for that, and giving Doom something that would cause the illusion of death would be within Reed's gameplaying character
...
You make a good point.
Do we know who the
BOOM
guy is? Is it
The Thing?
I felt like I was following all the parallels last issue, but now I'm lost again. Too long between issues.
My suspicions is that it has to be
The Thing. He is only member of the FF with super-strength. The man in the pool of water probably was Johnny. Which makes me wonder where Sue is
?
Which makes me wonder where Sue is?
Anywhere she wants to be, I guess.
Your assertion about
the guy in the water sounds right,
but how does that stop him from doing his thing?
