About membership.
According to this Angel & Faith is continuing with Victor Gischler and Will Conrad as the new creative team.
This is a surprise given the way season 9 ended and Faith leaving London.

I really wished last season that the S9 A+F creative team was doing Buffy, and now they are! The new A+F team have some big shoes to fill though.

I thought Victor Gischler did fine on the Spike mini so I'll be interested to see how he handles this.
Of course I loved Gage and Issacs work on Angel & Faith in season 9 so I'm excited to see them move onto Buffy.
But where does this leave Andrew Chambliss?He was at the writers summit and confirmed his season 10 involvement in the last CBR interview.
Maybe he's handling a miniseries?I could see Georges Jeanty coming back for a mini possibly even with his Serenity work.

The way the first series ended, it gave the impression that they were going their separate ways.
And, being a big fan of Faith, I was hoping she would finally get a solo book.
But it's still good to see Gage and Isaacs back and working together; I'm sure they'll bring a lot to the main Buffy book.

No news on additional cover artist for themoment, right? It would be great to have Chen and Noto back on that in some capacity. Can't really recognize who are the artists on the covers accompanying the creative teams names.

I'm not as enamored with Isaacs art as everyone else seems to be, but I'm glad Gage is working on the Buffy title. I hated S9 (which admittedly I haven't forced myself to finish reading yet so it could have gotten better) but they really need someone to refocus the series and I think Gage can do that. The only thing is I don't know how well Gage will go with the Buffy humor. I don't think many writers have been anywhere up to standard in that area besides Joss, BKV and maybe Goddard.

Not the biggest fan of the Spike mini or Gischler's other comics, sadly. Always liked Will Conrad, though--he was great on X-23. His work has changed a bit since Serenity, look here for something recent.

Buffy book.
Great that Gage and Isaacs are back, telling more tales of Giles. My expectations aren't so high for A&F, so they have a good chance of impressing me!

I liked Gischler's work on the Spike mini, so that's a fine choice. I suspected we were going to lose Gage to Buffy (when every review said A&F was better than Buffy the PTB had to pay attention!). Buffy needs all the help it can get, and this actually might get me reading it again on a regular basis.
I'm surprised that they are keeping the Angel and Faith title. Just because it seemed like the pair were going their separate ways at the end of the last season. How they are going to have Faith back in London is a mystery. Unless they are going to have two separate stories in the book (half the book for Angel and half for Faith)? It kind of looks that way from the cover - Faith in the circle somewhere at night, with Angel somewhere else. That would be crap. Just give them their own books in that case.
Guess we will find out later today!

He's a good plotter and had some nice dialogue but he wrote the characters in a shallow way.
While I had issues with Victor's Spike mini, I do think he managed to do the best job of any of writers in 9 of really nailing a character's voice (with the exception of Joss of course).

Also I too would like some more variant covers from Noto or Chen.
