HAZZAH!Even though Whedon’s calendar is full for the next few years—with writing and directing a “Wonder Woman” feature film, finishing his 24-issue commitment to Astonishing , and the Buffy and Serenity comics at Dark Horse—when the writer heard Vaughan was exiting one of his favorite titles, he quickly took inventory to assure himself he was far too busy to pick up another monthly title.
The he called Marvel and told them he wanted to write the book anyway—handpicking artist Michael Ryan ( New Excalibur ) for the title.
I guess that means Runaways will become Bimonthly...
So that's
1 Movie Writting and Directing (Wonder Woman)
and 3 Comics (Astonishing X-Men, Buffy "Season 8" and now Runaways).
Man that's busy!
Still, that's just AWESOME NEWS for Runaways. It'll bring them into the limelight from Joss Whedon's name alone, and it's already one of the best comics being published by a major company.
WOOO!
