I knew if I didn't get Will, I had to aim pretty high, and you can't bring someone great in last minute. He was pretty cagey with me, and it dragged on for a long time, when I maybe should have been getting more antsy about locking someone in. I just couldn't believe how good he'd gotten, so I started feeling out the possibilities of bringing him back to Dark Horse. "Before I started working with Victor, his agent, David Hale Smith, sent me a stack of books he'd done, including some 'X-Men' drawn by Will ," said Allie. Allie remarked how greatly Conrad's work has improved in the interim, and was determined to bring him back for "Season 10." Though it took some time to lock him in, Allie's perseverance eventually paid off.
"Angel & Faith" artist Will Conrad is a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" veteran, having inked several issues as far back as 2001. That was Rebekah's very firm request, but Chris said it too at one point. I was having a similar conversation with Rebekah, and they both said they would do whatever I wanted them on, but all they cared about was that they get to stick together, and stick with Dan Jackson, their colorist. I asked Chris what he wanted to do in 'Season 10' - which book he wanted to write. "We had a great book with 'Angel & Faith,' and it would be foolish to screw with it. "We loved Christos' work on 'Angel & Faith,' both him and Rebekah, and we were torn about what to do with them next," said Allie. While "Buffy Season 9" writer Andrew Chambliss was in attendance at the "Season 10" writer's summit, Allie said he's now focused primarily on his television writing, and if he pens anything for "Season 10," it will be something small.
Gage and Isaacs have stepped over from "Angel & Faith" to take the helm on "Buffy," while Victor Gischler, who penned the "Season 9" spin-off "Spike: A Dark Place," takes over "Angel & Faith" with artist Will Conrad. With "Season 10" comes shifts in the creative teams behind the books. On the other hand, there were a couple radical changes to the world as the Scoobies know it: London was suddenly flooded by magic-mutated residents, and the rules of Vampirism seemed to be drastically altered. Following on the success of its "Buffy" line, Dark Horse will expanded their stable of Whedonverse properties with the January 2014 launch of "Serenity," a canonical continuation of the fan-beloved space-western, written by Zack Whedon and featuring art by former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" interior artist Georges Jeanty.Īhead of the publisher's NYCC panel - to be held Friday at 6:30 PM ET in room 1a06 - Comic Book Resources spoke with Gage, Gischler and Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie for an exclusive look at "Buffy Season 10," "Serenity" and the coming of a new breed of Vampire.Īs "Buffy Season 9" and "Angel & Faith" came to a close, readers saw certain story points and characters return to status quo: Dawn was saved and (mostly) everyone survived their respective battles.
