I just hope that the plot doesn't get crazy towards the end and they stay focused on what Buffy is really like.

I just hope that the plot doesn't get crazy towards the end and they stay focused on what Buffy is really like. 50 seems like a lot, but most arcs in comic books take about 3-4 issues to complete, probably with Buffy it may take more, plus stand alones, etc. It seems a fair number, may a little over the top. BUT... I also think we should take the projected 50 issues with a grain of salt. That many would be phenomenal, but I personally won't get my hopes up.  |

i prefer that there will be more issues because that means that there will be more arcs/ episodes!!! If you work it out, with each arc consisting of 4 issues, then the sesaon will have approximately 12 arcs/ episodes as i will not be counting the standalones as an episode but as an extra. I think that if this the last series of buffy (consider that it will last fo about 4 years) then it will round of the series pretty well as the first series consisted of 12 episodes. ;D

In that Newsarama article, Allie discussed how an arc by Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza was scrapped due to similarities to Season 7, so I e-mailed Lobdell to ask him what the arc was going to be... here's his response:
"Essentially, I pitched the one thing you could do in a comic that you couldn't do in the show -- have the Hellmouth swallow Sunnydale! Since that was the whole crux of the lead up of Season 7 -- my original story had to be nipped. No harm, no foul! As it is, it all worked out in the end! The Buffy Inside the Asylum story -- the one that filled in the gaps of that classic episode -- was one of the funnest books I've written in the last five years!"
"If given another round at the Buffy comic, Lobdell stated that he has "always wanted to do an Initiative series. I love, love, love the idea behind Riley and the Initiative! If Buffy was Bogart the reluctant freedom fighter in Casablanca, than Riley had the potential to be James Bond on a world stage!"

Every single time they mention how long this will be it keeps getting longer and longer...do not trust any of thes totals!!!! These guys are excited and fresh..they have no clue, we have no clue. Just be sure it will last far shorter than any of us want. That's the only guarantee!
Also remember Joss has been working @ Marvel, typical comics arc run 6 issues for the big publishers, although DH seems to prefer 4ish with tons of filler issues.

Honestly, if it last 30 issues instead of 50 I'll be happy. Its just good to have Buffy back!

In my personal experience, a good comic usually runs close to 50 issues, then it is usually revamped with a new first issue (Season 9) and sometimes a different creative team.
