WonderCon 2011: Joss Whedon talks BUFFY Season 9 and ANGEL AND FAITH comic books

Joss Whedon  talked about another season of Buffy at his panel yesterday and hinted at a few other cool additions.  He will bring Buffy the Vampire Slayer back for it's 9th season (in comic book form, just like S8) and this time he's recruited a co-writer. Andrew Chambliss (Vampire Diaries, Heroes) will join Whedon who's no stranger to these universes as he was one of the witers for Whedon's Dollhouse and is the current Dollhouse comic book scribe.

Chambliss had a few things to say to the BuffyFest Blog about the Buffy Season 9 gig;

“It may seem the obvious choice, but I’m going to have to say Buffy,” he told Buffyfest. “Going into season 9, she’s in a really interesting place – she always thought she was going to die saving the world, but now that she actually survived, she has to face her real life (don’t worry, they’ll still be lots of slaying). And at the same time, she’s watching her friends move on with their lives, and has to deal with the fact that the Scooby Gang might not be there to help her like they used to be.”

Dark Horse's Buffy Season 9 launches in September one month after the debut of the new Angel and Faith series that was previously published by IDW but is now under the Dark Horse banner, as are all of Whedons titles now.

The Angel and Faith series is written by Christos Gage with art by Rebekah Isaacs and Steve Morris. the fantastic Jo Chen will provide covers,
