Nice article on SPIKE "Shadow Puppets"

http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10030

I like this part:

" those not familiar with "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" lore (from which "Angel" spun off), Spike was originally introduced as the vampiric embodiment of Jack The Ripper and anything but a hero. Over the course of both "Buffy" and "Angel," the character evolved into an unlikely hero, becoming quite possibly the most popular character produced by creator Joss Whedon. Asked about the enduring popularity of Spike, Lynch explained, "I think he's a very layered character: started as a truly despicable (yet strangely likeable) villain, gradually (and very believably) became one of the greatest heroes in that universe. He's been on both sides, and it's a testament to the creative talent involved, from writing to acting to directing, that both sides, and the journey from one to the other, was completely believable.

"Plus, reduced to the very basics, he's a bad-ass and, a romantic. And he's really funny and charming. Something for everyone.

Spoilery review of the comics..

Read the part about sex.

lol.

Some news just in on JAMES:

At this point, fans were able to ask their own questions to the panelists as one fan asked if any voice actors from "JLU" animated series will carry over to the movies. The answer was a firm ‘No,’ but they went further by revealing some of the new voices of the "Superman: Doomsday" movie. Adam Baldwin will be the voice of Superman, Ann Heche will provide the voice for Lois Lane, and James Marsters will voice Lex Luthor. Fans may remember that Marsters voiced Brainiac in "Smallville" quite recently.

and this..

The cast for the feature cartoon is taking a bit of a different twist. Though sporting Timm's typical clean, block-style designs, the voices will be different. Gone is the talent behind Justice League Unlimited. Tim stated that he really wanted to differentiate these projects from the past serialized shows. To that end, he revealed three of the main characters in the story and the talent attached to them. Adam Baldwin will be portraying the Man of Steel himself, Clark Kent. Anne Heche will be taking on the role of Lois Lane. James Marsters, known as Spike to many, will be doing a new take on Lex Luthor. Timm specifically noted that the writing team had reconstructed and analyzed Luthor to find a suitable role for this project.

and also, a really Spike positive review on the comic:

Jane ESpenson will be one of the writers in the Buffy comic!! (Now, IMO, this can only bode well for fans of Spike..)

“IDW got the Angel franchise license, and they’ve been working really hard on it and doing some good stuff with it, so it is not my intention to completely bone them,” he jokes. “But Spike and Angel are also people who should be used kind of sparingly, because they’re the big guns. …The opportunity is there, and if the story dictates it, well, the story is king.”

I Can Bring Whole Cities To Ruin And Still Have Time To Get A Soft Shoe In
Joss Whedon has been making the interview rounds this week (Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide to name but two) in an effort to promote his new Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic book. Coming out in March of next year from Dark Horse Comics, Buffy: Season Eight picks up after the events of the series finale, with Buffy now in charge of all the young slayers. While many new characters will be introduced, all your old favorites will return, including Spike And Angel. Whedon will write at least the first and last four issues of what is expected to be a 20-30 issue run.

Sign Me Up! Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that for the third week in a row, but the sentiment is real; if it's Buffy, as in real Buffy (aka written by Joss) than I am there. I am not much of a comic book guy although I, like every other teen age boy, was obsessed with Spider Man and I still have vivid memories of being shocked by the reveal of the Sin Eater's identity. This is a godsend for those of us who are Buffy diehards and going through withdrawal. Apparently there still is some negotiating going on with the company that has the comic book rights to the Angel characters, but Whedon seems to think it will be worked out. I am now and will always be firmly in the Spike camp, and to read a real follow up to the show without him would be bittersweet. I am marking off the days before I hit the local comic store for what will undoubtedly be the Best. Comic. Ever.

Question for Fan fic writers and everyone else..

With these new spoilers coming out about Buffy/Immortal in the comics (among other things)---are you going to consider it canon, now?

Does it take enthusiasm away from fic you might be writing which has different ideas?

I am thinking about THREE DEEP right now, which is extremely well written, but it is way off base if comic is any indication.

Scott Tipton, writer of ATS comics, seems to like Spike a bit:

http://fractalmatter.com/main/?p=458

Favourite character?

If you look at all my Whedonverse work, there’s only one character who appears in every story, so it’s not too hard to figure out. I think Spike has so much depth to him, so much pain and passion and humor. I could keep writing him forever. I’ve only recently begun a non-Whedonverse project, and after a year and a half of writing Spike, it’s been very strange not hearing his voice in my head.

well, this is interesting.

There's a picture of James playing Spike and Joss included in the article:



Will we be seeing the two great vampire loves of Buffy's life, Angel and Spike? ''

JOSS: Yes — but. The characters from the show Angel are owned by another company who picked up the comic book publishing rights. That doesn't mean I can't use them, it just means I'm sparing in my use of them because I don't want to interfere with another company, who are working hard on that property. But Angel and Spike are characters that I would use sparingly, anyway. They are important to Buffy, but too much is too much.''

Exclusive look at the cover image of the Buffy comic that Joss will be writing.

Mishmash of thoughts and questions...

In case you were unaware, there has been quite a bit of controversy over the latest cover of the Spike comic. I am not really one to buy comics (although I know many of you are) so I didn't give it to much thought, until the author started pulling a David Fury season six and I really looked at it.

Anyway, the fun and author comments are at Whedonesque.

The publisher of IDW weighs in...

Also, CDS has more on it in the thread that is unnamed.

anyway...

I have a question about SMALLVILLE and the Phantom Zone. If you haven't watched this episode and you really really care about not knowing spoilers, don't read any further.. ---

I'm probably just being dumb and misunderstanding, but wasn't Zod trapped in the zone? For some reason they couldn't retrieve his body and so they used Lex.

Okay, so now Clark is in the phantom Zone. How are they suppose to retrieve his body? And IF they can retrieve his body, then why couldn't they retrieve Zods?

I'm soooooooooooooo confused.

I saw on DeKnight's blog

From DeKnight's blog..

Yeah, I'm still alive -- and still reading all of your comments, so keep 'em coming. I've been busy gearing up for pilot pitching season, which pretty much coincides with going back to Smallville. Hence, the Big Busy. Soon as I get a chance I'll dive back into the Writing for TV blog, so feel free to start throwing out more questions.


So, does this mean that DeKnight is pitching a pilot? Wouldn't he be contractually obligated to SMALLVILLE?

LAST, Does anyone have the interview with Drew Greenberg where he speaks about SMASHED and that house falling in fight with Spike/Buffy? I thought I had it and I can't find the damn thing.
