Is this for real?!

They got together to discuss the book and decided to make 22 comics in the series, just like a television show.

"But that number keeps growing as Joss keeps coming up with new stories to tell," Allie said. "We're up to about 50, could go a little higher. It's a very deep story that will go places. People are going to love it."

Allie said the comic series will initially be called "Season Eight" but there is a subtitle that will be added after issue #6.

"We can't reveal the subtitle now, it will give too much away," he said.

Allie said he hopes that Joss will write about half of the Buffy series, with other writers like Brian K. Vaughan filling in arcs.

Joss has written the first five issues of the series and will write issue #10, then issues #16 to #20. Issues #6 through #9 will be written by Vaughan. Drew Goddard, a writer for the show, will write issues #11 through #14. Issue #15 will be a stand-alone story written by an author to be announced.

owh thanks for the info :)
whats that subtitle going to be...sounds a bit random to me. Maybe the issues after issue 6 wont b canon or something...or maybe the 'final' season?
 
Here's a thought worm. The subtitle starts after #6 when Vaughan starts writing. Wasn't he supposed to be doing a Faith arc?

What's a "thought worm"? Whatever it is, I reckon in my case it would be a thought snake. Python maybe.
lol, at this point I'm happy not to know what the subtitle is... I've spoiled myself way too much. 50 issues sounds cool to me! It seems like 1 issue is like reading 10 minutes of a show.

Haha, I'm the same, I'm going to keep away from all spoilers from this point onwards (or try to anyways) :P And yes, issue 1 was over rather quickly....
If they plan to cover a whole season (22 episodes) there would HAVE to be quite a few more episodes than that, because a 25 or so comic book couldn't possibly contain the story covered in a single one hour episode and do it justice. At best, there would have to be three or more books per episode, which would come out to 60 or more episodes. At one a month, that comes out to 5 years to cover a single season. Allowing for late issues, that means I'll be on Social Security before Season 8 concludes.
