Joss Whedon always goes out with a bang, and Season 8 had the most epic setup of any previous Buffy season. It was my great pleasure to work with Joss on the finale, outlining the story together in his Santa Monica office, and then writing three of the five final issues with him. Some pretty heavy scenes fell on my narrow shoulders—we killed a major character, we brought an end to magic in a 'verse where magic fuels most of the plot lines, as well as most of the protagonists and villains. We shook things up and ruffled the feathers of some fans, and brought some of the biggest characters to their lowest points ever. In doing so, we also set up the next series, Season 9, which launches this fall. The last arc of Season 8 comes out this summer, just ahead of the release of Angel and Faith #1 and the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1.
