Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Possibly, I'm talking out of my eyeroll, here.
Who's on your dream team of Buffy comic book writers?
Gail Simone? Personally, I'd really like to see Alan Moore go at it. He always seems to understand the essential core/mythic worth of iconic characters.
Simone has the dialogue touch needed, for certain.
And I think that, when he's not Banging the Issue Stick, Winick can also balance the funny/serious as required. Peter David (who has worked in the 'verse before) would also be an excellent choice.
Ooo!
As this is all my pipe dream, can I bring Gruenwald back from the dead, so long as I promise not to bring him back wrong?
I think Jane E. has been the most successful comic writer out of the ME stable, after Joss. (Success here meaning "knows how to write for the medium.")
As this is all my pipe dream, can I bring Gruenwald back from the dead, so long as I promise not to bring him back wrong?
Your wish is granted. Long live Jambi.
It makes me sad to think of all the things Gruenwald could have written in the last decade.
Stupid heart defects. Stupid death.
(I go all Anya over it.)
Brian K. Vaughan is going to be writing for Lost.
Also, Joss is writing Runaways and Vaughan is writing Buffy?
How funny.
If we wanted a bleak, action-oriented take on the characters, Ellis would be a good choice. And Jamie Delano could bring the über-creepy. Also, the proper voice for a self-absorbed iconoclastic Brit with no compassion, if they wanted Spike for a guest appearance.
Joss better not mess up my Runaways.
