Lol seems its only me so I apologise for posting 3 in a row - but when there's news there's news lol!
An excerpt from a new interview with Georges Jeanty:
After this arc there is a stand-alone story that Joss wrote. I won’t be drawing that one but I will be back on the next four issue arc that centers around Faith. That will be written by comic writer Brian K. Vaughn. I'm really excited about drawing Faith. I really like her as a character! Other than that I can't say much more only because I don't really know more. http://buffycomics.hellmouthcentral....rgesjeanty.htm
I am really excited about him drawing Faith too - his work in issue #1 was superb and I am hopefully gonna be getting #2 in the post tomorrow!
Also, there's a 6 page sneak peek on the making of issue #3 on the Dark Horse website if anyone is interested - spoilers very much abound but its a really interesting insight into the production!
UPDATE: Rather than start another post I thought I'd just edit this one. I just got done reading issue #2 (sidebar: it rocks!
) and there is a mention of Faith's arc at the "Slay the critics" letters section at the back:
(It's in the comic itself so its official but I will add in some very slight
spoiler warning for anyone not wanting to know anything)
As for Faith, I'm glad you asked. For those who haven't heard, Faith is gonna be the star of the second major arc of Season Eight. Written by one of the best writers in comics - and recent addition to the writing team of Lost - Brian K. Vaughan, and drawn by Georges, issues #6-9 follow Faith on a very unusual mission, from the Hellmouth in Cleveland to even more unfriendly environs in England.
