Buffy Stuff | Interviews | Scott Ciencin and Dan Jolley
Comic Capers

Picture Dan, given your extensive background in comics, how would you tackle the revival of the currently on hiatus Angel comic book series? Does Angel work well in that medium or is the show more suited to novels?

Dan Jolley: I�ve always felt that comics were a natural extension of the Whedonverse. Given the opportunity, what I would most like to do would be to take a year of the Angel comic book and treat it like its own separate season of the TV show: twelve episodes, like a mid-year replacement season (the way Buffy got started).

I'd do my best to give the comic the same "feel" as the show, from format (a single over-arching story focused on one "big bad," but with self-contained "episodes") to style (strictly cinematic, with no narrative captions, internal monologues, or thought balloons). I'd love the chance to come up with an original villain strong enough to carry a whole season, and to see if I could write action and dialogue on the comic book page that someone could read and say, "Yeah, I could see Cordelia saying that."
