The thing is, Jeff, if he had done a sketch for you, it would've been months before you got it.
Of course, if you wanted Joss to write a caption too you'd have to will it to your next of kin so they could pick it up when it was finally ready. The combination of Joss and Karl seems to create space-time anomolies.
To be fair to Karl, he has been keeping a pretty regular monthly schedule with CrossGen on
Route 666.
Of course, that might not be much longer (I expect CrossGen to be announcing the cancellation of that title fairly soon, despite what their promo people say).
Well, I wasn't implying that Joss or Karl were slackers, far from it, just that circumstances often lead to their comics being somewhat behind schedule and riffing off of what DX said.
The cliched statement of "he does more before breakfast than most people do in a day" applies to Joss. (Whereas for Tim you have to substitute in "kills more people".)
I think that Karl is relatively new to the business, so his speed has improved, and Joss, well, as the intro to the trade paperback collection said, he was working on 4 shows (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and the Buffy aminmated series) at the time he agreed to write the book. His brain is definitely wired differently than the rest of the world.
With the new
Astounding X-Men
and the
Firefly
movie going on, I wonder if the Buffyverse comics will be put on hold after
Tales of the Vampires
finishes (only 2 more issues to go).
Oh, and the Fiesta!Giles figures sold out at the convention, but not to me. I was able to resist, and picked up a bunch of
Hellboy
trades at half off.
Speaking of the animated series, I wonder if Joss will try to resurrect it since there's not going to be anymore Buffyverse stuff on the air next season. Was it ever said what network it was being developed for originally?
I don't think they will be doing the Animated series. The idea was dropped because no network would buy it. Apparently Joss is only willing to do it at a certain quality level and that level is too expensive.
We should still do our spec script someday.
We should still do our spec script someday.
Yeah. It was just starting to come together too...
Yeah, but if we ever got put on a writing staff the corset and candy budget would drive the production into the ground.
Not Jossverse, but hey! My article on The Escapist is up at Newsweek.com!
