Buffy the Vampire Slayer may have ended its television run in 2003, but it is currently living on in comic book form. Season 8 picks up some time after the finale of season 7, and lets us know what are favorite characters are up to. The series is currently 30 issues into its run, and I am loving every page of it. For further details on the Season 8 Buffy comic series, you can check out the Dark Horse website. But what’s new? Well, SciFi Wire reports that the comics will be translated into motion-comic webisodes:
Rather, a series of motion-comic webisodes based on Whedon’s highly successful series of “Season Eight” comics.
An actor friend of ours has clued us in to the casting of the new Buffy webisodes, which makes it sound like the proposed Web series is moving ahead quickly.
Based on the breakdown, the series will be based on the comics and feature the characters Twilight, the Big Bad of Season Eight, and evil British socialite Slayer Lady Genevieve Savidge, who plots to usurp Buffy’s place in the Slayer hierarchy.

did you read the comic books?
Oh yeah, I’m obsessed with the Buffy comic books. Remember how I had that stack in my apartment when you were visiting, and you wouldn’t let me show you because you didn’t want to be spoiled? I want to eventually write some recaps/ reviews of those, but haven’t found the time. When you finally finish Buffy, I can lend my copies to you.
