VERONICA MARS SEASON 4 COMES TO COMICS?

Despite a noble effort by fans for a last minute reprieve from the CW's decision to cancel Veronica Mars, creator Rob Thomas has revealed that we might be seeing Veronica again.

In the Toronto Star, Thomas leaked some possible very big news, "I have some ambition to write a screenplay, see if I can shop that and get it made. And I had a meeting with DC Comics last Monday and they want to do (Season 4) as a comic series."

Now that Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 has proven to be a huge success in comics, is the graphic narrative the next home for television's storytellers?

RJACKSON'S COMIC PICK OF THE WEEK

Dark Horse Comics' Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1. This is the first issue of the new ongoing which kicks off Season 8 of the seminal cult classic TV show. It's written by show creator/mad genius Joss Whedon and is a must have for the Buffy-verse afficionado.


While not too much goes on in this issue, other than establishing where most of the members of the Scooby gang are following the close of the UPN nee WB TV series, it does immediately bring back the classic feel of the show: snappy dialogue, great action, and just the right hint of mystery.

Even though it is a first issue, it might not be the best jumping on point for folks who are new to the Buffy-verse (I would suggest Dark Horse's Tales of the Slayer miniseries for that!). For casual fans of the show and diehards, however, it's a perfect start to what promises to be a wonderful new season.
