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.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #1 hits stands March 19th and Angel & Faith Season 10 #1 is on sale April 2nd in comic shops everywhere!
