Just in case anybody's interested...
And if that ain’t enough for fans, when discussing upcoming arcs and the writers who will tell them, Allie shared that superstar writer Jim Krueger (“Project Superpowers” and “Justice”) was coming along for the ride, too. First, though, Allie confirmed best-selling New York Times author Brad Meltzer (“Justice League of America”) would write four or five issues. “It will be issues #31-35, either all five or just four of those,” said Allie. “But Brad will do the penultimate arc and Joss will do the final arc.
“And the plan is to finagle the schedule so Georges (Jeanty) can draw all of the final 10 issues, which is hard. For someone as good as he is, he’s really fast but he’s not quite fast enough to keep issues cranking out so we have to make sure that we are ahead when we start the final arcs.”
Allie also said Jeph Loeb (“Hulk” and “The Ultimates 3”) would be writing a single-issue story for #20, the book right after the Fray arc. There is still one more surprise writer to be named for the 40-issue series. “But it’s still a surprise to me,” laughed Allie. “We still haven’t figured out, for sure, who is going to write the arc before Brad. That’s still the one mystery ball in play.”
Jane Espenson (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Battlestar Galactica”) Doug Petrie (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) and Drew Greenberg (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Dexter”) are also confirmed to write issues of “Buffy: Season 8.”
