Joss Whedon talks Buffy comics, Spike movie and more

Joss Whedon posted an update today at his blog, Whedonesque.com, on several of his upcoming projects, including new Buffy comics, the rumored Spike movie and Wonder Woman.

Speaking of Darkhorse Comics, they are starting a new Buffy comic, and as I understand it, it will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel and be canon in the Buffy world. And I understand it that way 'cause I'M WRITING IT. I'm kicking off the book with a four issue arc that finds Buffy -- you guessed it -- living in Italy with The Immortal. (Scott -- don't be mad I spoiled the announcement -- saying it means I have to finish it.) Then I'll be overseeing the book more closely, to make sure it remains true. Gonna be interesting. And it just might tie in to...

The infamous Spike movie. Still haven't finalized anything, but I feel that very soon I'll be able to go to James and say something a lot more interesting than "Wouldn't it be cool if..." 'Course, I just hope he's free some time this decade.

He also mentions his return to Astonishing X-Men, the Wonder Woman movie script and his appearance tonight on one of my favorite shows, Veronica Mars. Whedon is the second Hollywood-type-turned-comic-writer to appear on the show, as Kevin Smith played a slimy convenience store clerk earlier this season. Read the whole post.
