Whedon: “Buffy” Season Nine Coming (In Comics)

September 30, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: Collectibles

“Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” will have a ninth season–in comic books.

Following the success of the popular “Buffy, Season Eight” comics, creatoer Joss Whedon assures fans that the Slayer’s adventures will continue for a ninth season in comic-book form.

“Well, 40 issues was always the goal, and that’s how we’re playing it,” he said of the current “Season Eight” run. “We’re around issue 30 now, we’ve got about 10 to go, five of which I have to write, so I have to get on that. Then we’ll pause for breath and then we’ll start Season Nine.”

“I have had for a long time a conception for Season Nine that is very different from Season Eight,” he added. “It may not run as long, because 40 issues sounds great until you realize that it’s four or five years.”
