Buffy Returns?

Yes? No?! Maybe?!?

As Dollhouse winds down, talk of Joss Whedon's next project seems to be settling on series of motion-comic webisodes based on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 series of comics. I have been following this comic series, though delayed as I insist on reading the collections in graphic novel form, and I really do enjoy the series. I usually finish a book in two or three days and I am always left wanting more. While some of the stories don't have the impact I'd like, the overarching arch is fairly classic Buffy-verse material that successfully captures the characters we've grown to love and hate from the TV series.

The real question, though, is whether I'd even be interested in seeing this comic series turned into a series of webisodes. I think that gets a big "Eh." I'd watch it, of course, probably even eagerly, but I'm not convinced I really need this series. The comics are quite satisfying and I'm not sure a web series would bring anything new that would make it superior to the comics.

Of course, we have no idea what will happen with this project or whether it's even real. I think for now I'll just forget all about this and be happily surprised if it ever does end up being "broadcast" on the web.
