Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
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.

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.
Kudos, Misha! Well done.
Cool article. One quibble:
Another story in the book, written and drawn by Jim Stanton, is nearly wordless and illustrated with '90s-style computer-rendered images.
It's Jim Starlin, and although those particular pages may be computer-rendered, he's been using pretty much the same style since he did Warlock back in the mid-seventies.
