In an excellent interview at IGN about his upcoming return to Astonishing X-Men, Joss tosses in a mention that got my ears perked up when he was asked about doing other marvel characters.
“Absolutely.” He added, “It’s only a question of time. The X-Men is definitely my dream book. I have other projects that I know that I would love to do, but I have movie scripts that are a little bit late and TV shows and other things. None of it is any different to me. I love it all. Telling a story is telling a story… I have to be a little realistic about how much time I have, particularly because I am getting back involved in Buffy comics and in a lesser way with a Serenity comic… If there’s some books that Bendis isn’t writing, I’m ready to pick up that slack.”Woo hoo! Not much to hang my hope on, but I’ll take what I can get.
I really hope everything works out with more serenity comic goodness. It sounds like so far so good. I love the first three (have the Zoë, Wash, Simon, and Mal covers) and will, of course, buy any others that are written.
