NYCC: WHEDONVERSE ENTERS TENTH
SEASON!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel
& Faith Return in 2014!
New York NY –
Announced at New York Comic Con, Dark Horse is bringing the Whedonverse into
it’s tenth season with the help of fan favorite authors, Christos Gage and
Victor Gischler.
“In Buffy, Season 10 is going to
be about bringing friendships back together, while in Angel & Faith,
relationships are shattered. Magic is starting to come back into the world, but
in some surprising ways, like that vampire we saw standing in the sunlight at
the end of Season 9,” says Editor in Chief Scott Allie.
Buffy the
Vampire Slayer Season 10 is slated for 30 issues, written by
Christos Gage and illustrated by Rebekah Issacs, with covers by long time series
artist, Steve Morris.
“The Buffyverse
community has been wonderfully welcoming to Rebekah and me. It's a tremendous
honor for Joss and Dark Horse to trust us with their flagship book, and we are
going to do all we can to be worthy of that trust. It's a new season, with new
rules...but hopefully the same blend of love, action, horror, humor and
creativity that's made Buffy and her Scoobies part of all our families. We hope
you'll join us for the ride,” states Christos Gage.
Angel &
Faith is also slated for
a 30 issue run, written by Victor Gischler and illustrated by Will Conrad, with
covers by Scott Fischer.
"I was proud and
privileged to have a small part in season nine, and I can't express how grateful
I am to have an expanded role in season ten. Buffy the Vampire
Slayer remains an iconic television show, and the Dark Horse comics continue
that great tradition. I plan on having a lot of fun." Says Angel &
Faith series writer Victor Gischler.
“I'm very happy
that our Angel & Faith artist has hopped over to Buffy,
allowing our Buffy artist to jump over to Serenity. And to make
the game of musical chairs complete, the guy who draw the first
two Serenity miniseries is back in the loop, taking over Angel &
Faith. These are all artists Joss and the writers and I are comfortable
working with, and who are cozy with these characters, so it's nice to shake
things up a bit while having a lot of confidence in what these artists can do.
And I'm so happy to have Will back,” adds Scott Allie.
