‘Buffy’ Back on Track
Editor Scott Allie provided frustrated Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans with an update on the oft-delayed series.
“Good news, gang — Andy Owens has just turned in the final inks for long-overdue Buffy #19,” he wrote at Dark Horse’s website. “So while Michelle wraps up the colors on Buffy #19, I want to thank you for your patience, apologize for the delay, and promise to do my best to keep it from happening again.” The issue will be on sale November 26.
He went on to assure all that Buffy #20-22 are completed so the schedule should stabilize in the coming months.
“You’ve probably read the news that Jane Espenson has joined the staff of Dollhouse, which means she’ll be seeing Joss daily while writing her much-anticipated arc, which will feature Oz,” Allie teased. “Jane makes her Season Eight debut in the issue #21 one-shot, kick-starting the next arc. We’re doing some unusual promotions for that issue, and you’ll want to keep your eye on MySpace Dark Horse Presents and other places come the first of the year.”
"Oft-delayed"? Actually, #19 is the first late issue. We had a scheduled skip month after issue #4. Other than that, it's been like clockwork. —Scott Allie
