A little more info @ IGN including a gallery of two cover images:

June 27, 2005 - IDW's two biggest names are coming together for a four-issue horror miniseries this September. Shadowplay teams Ashley Wood with Ben Templesmith.

Amber Benson (who played Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Witchblade writer Christina Z scribe two unique tales for each issue of Shadowplay.

Benson and Templesmith join together for "Demon Father John's Pinwheel Blues," about a syndicate of vampire urchins that meets some changes when Pinwheel, a new recruit, shakes things up. Z and Wood offer "Shunt," which tells the story of a perfect woman with a perfect life who stumbles onto a vampire prostitute slave ring.

Ship date looks like 28th Sept 05

and here is a panel from the comic courtesy of Ben Templesmith himself.

Hmmm, that second cover kind of deserves a NSFW warning... :-)

sorry, yeah :) careful on the cover gallery

I'm sure a lot of people at the Whedoncon in Sacramento will be asking Amber about her new project next week. I wonder if Joss inspired her to get into creating comic books, or had this idea before she was on Buffy.

I'm wondering since she's doing a stint for IDW if she'll be involved in writing any of their Angel/Spike/Faith(?) comic books.

It'll be interesting to see, Simon, that's for sure.

Templesmith's art rocks. I'd pick this up for that alone, but Amber's short story in the Tales of the Slayers compilation was one of the best too, from memory.

How ironic they publish the news on the BBC "cult" site which is going away in two weeks. Has anyone heard anything about the fate of "Ghosts of Albion" which is only hosted on BBC "Cult" and therefore also doomed?

I've emailed them about it but haven't had a reply yet. Will let you know once they get back to me...

Bah, I made the mistake of praising the cult site and saying I was sorry to see it go in the same email. Therefore all I got in my reply was a thank you whilst ignoring the GoA question.
