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.
