MTV.com talks with Joss Whedon about “Season 8″ of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Dark Horse series that picks up where the TV show left off: “The show was very mundane, deliberately mundane. A comic has got to work on a grander, epic scale. We can really take the characters wherever we want, and of course, that means I can kill them. That’s where the fun is, in revisiting these characters. It’s like being with my old friends, but in actuality, not being with my old friends, because the actors aren’t there to play them. It’s a little different. This is bigger variations. It’s a symphony based on the little tune we played.”
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 debuts on March 7.
