Whedonverse

Looks good!

And there is a Spike After the Fall preview picture here.

Technically Buffy and Serenity are both dark horse by the by. Anyways I just finished Buffy season 8 and I am loving it. So close to the show its not even funny.

I’m read’em too… I really have been enjoying Buffy season 8… I really liked what they did with Dracula… Poor Xander…

Did anyone else hate the artwork for Serenity Better Days?

And Angel currently has my brain is mooosh-mode… But…I too shall keep reading…

The cover artwork for Serenity Better Days was absolutely terrible. The actual panels weren’t as bad.

I actually hate the artwork for Angel Season 6 way more.

I agree… Jo Chen needs to do all of Joss’ cover art… She’s really cool…
I hear that some of the Angel characters will cross over in to the Buffy comic… I read that in the back of the latest Buffy comic… They don’t say who though…

I want more Spike comics… He’s way better as a loner…heheeheheee

What about the cover of Angel: ATF #12?

I think it looks great.

I know that Serenity and Buffy are Dark Angel but Angel and Spike are not.

That is a pretty cool cover sumik…

I can’t wait for the: Book comics…

wait a minute. buffy/angel are part of the same universe as firefly/serenity? i haven’t watched firefly yet ( i know, i know. i’m working on it. next on my list, i swear.), but it’s my understanding that it takes place in the same universe as the Alien movies, with the whole Chinese/American culture thing, and all the outer space goodness. have i been mislead?

and, assuming i haven’t been mislead, does that mean we could potentially see an Alien Vs Buffy? I’m thinking Mr Pointy’s not going to cut it in that fight.

edit: oh yeah, and also Whedon wrote Alien: Resurrection. so that’s more evidence of the connection, assuming there is one.

Okay first of all - Buffy/Angel take place inthe same universe. Firefly/Serenity takes place in it’s own universe and does not have any relationship to the Alien universe. There are no aliens in Firefly at all in fact.

The comic book publisher of Buffy and Firefly is Dark Horse. IDW publishes the Angel comics.

hmm. i’d really like for Firefly to be connected to Alien, just because i think it would be interesting. plus the cultures are very similar. Firefly could potentially take place in the same universe if it’s set before the events of the Alien movies, since IIRC humanity had not had contact with alien life before Alien. it’s a stretch, but it’s not impossible. and like i said, they have that shared culture thing going on.

as far as my comment about a Buffy/Firefly connection, i think i was just confused by the term “Whedonverse”. i think i’m still confused by it, but that’s why god made wikipedia.

Check out Fray. That one is pretty cool. It does have a sad part near the end, but it is an awesome continuation of the Vampire Slayer story.

I think Fray and Buffy join together in the next arc of Season 8, don’t they? Or at least, that’s what Scott Allie said at the end of ‘Wolves at the Gate.’ I’m really loving the freedom that Joss has with the series in comic book form. And it’s really holding up very well to the tv show… though i wish the comics were longer! :wink:

after some research (or a few minutes with Google), i believe i have found compelling evidence that all the above-mentioned works exist in the same universe. in the Alien films, Ripley and her coworkers are employees of the morally bankrupt Weyland-Yutani corporation. now, in the final season of Angel, Weyland-Yutani is listed among the clients of the evil law firm Wolfram & Hart. thus, the Weyland-Yutani corporation links the Alien and Angel universes, and also necessarily links the Alien universe with Buffy, seeing as the series Angel was spun-off from BtVS. finally, some weapons in Firefly bear the Weyland-Yutani corporate logo. the existence of the Weyland-Yutani corporation in Alien, Buffy/Angel, and Firefly means that it is at least very likely that they all inhabit the same universe, albeit at very different time periods.

the real question, in my mind, is this: what about Predator? i mean, besides why i’ve been spending my time looking up this kind of thing, rather than working on my music.

GWC addiction. we all suffer

Not sure about the canon but I have heard parallels drawn between Weyland-Yutani and Blue Sun corporations. I’m not sure I like thinking about Serenity existing in the same universe as Alien. Reavers, Blue Sun, and Adelei Niska are bad enough. Though I am gifting the Book comic to see if the fam’ will put up with me getting all the rest it will be our first foray into this particular series. Teehee. It’s convoluted and many times makes sense only to me but I do have a plan.

I love the sexy look of this.

i like how the neon pink set against black recalls the series’ humble origin as a 1980s Kristy Swanson vehicle.

It actually IS a screencap from the 1980s theatrical movie…

it actually couldn’t be an 80s flick since it doesn’t star Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe or Demi Moore. if I’m not mistaken, it was early 90s

oh. um. :o
