Good news, gang -- Andy Owens has just turned in the final inks for long-overdue Buffy #19. So while Michelle wraps up the colors on Buffy #19, I want to thank you for your patience, apologize for the delay, and promise to do my best to keep it from happening again.
Buffy #20 is pretty much all done, and Buffy#21 and Buffy#22 are totally done, so we're back on track. After Buffy#19 hits stores on November 26, what we're gonna do is ship every three weeks for a couple months, until we're back to having the new issue out the first week of the month. Buffy#21 will be the first to return to this schedule, with an on-sale date of January 7.
You've probably read the news that Jane Espenson has joined the staff of Dollhouse, which means she'll be seeing Joss daily while writing her much-anticipated arc, which will feature Oz. Jane makes her Season Eight debut in the issue #21 one-shot, kick-starting the next arc. We're doing some unusual promotions for that issue, and you'll want to keep your eye on MySpace Dark Horse Presents (myspace.com/darkhorsepresents) and other places come the first of the year.
We'll give you a full update here about what to look for when we're closer.
