Sorry about the link, it won't let me create the url properly and automatically changes when I edit it.
So it looks like the series has been cut down to a 40 issue ongoing, about 3 and a bit years long. I guess gives more leyway for season 9 too. He is working with Brad Meltzer on the last 10 issues which sounds cool. I was never really into comics till I heard about season 8 and I have Fray too, so I don't know about who is big in the comic industry. God, I've just read an old interview with Joss and comparing that pic with recent Comic Con pics, he looks like he has lost a lot of weight... Good on him!!!

I wonder how the last arc will play then??? A lot of violence I hope... also, Georges has only just started drawing for buffy and cannot wait to see how his artwork develops over time...and the posters at SDCC of the finalised 'The Long Way Home' TPB cover looks wkd!!!

So is Season 8 going to be 40 issues and then Season 9 will start? Or will Season 8 and Season 9 be the 40 issues?

I think he means that season 8 will be 40 issues because they can't just cut what was meant to be 50 issues down to 20... so we're probably gonna have more buffy for 6+ years

Great Interview. Does anyone know if Season 9 will come out right after season 8 has stopped or will they wait a while like in the show?

I'm guessing that the gap between the two series shouldn't be too long as Joss already knows what he has plans for season 9... unless he decides to change the artist in which might take some time

Me too, although some of his likenesses could be better, I'm not slamming him or anything, but I can't wait to see how his art develops over due time...
