The Los Angele Times talks to Joss Whedon about his new "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" comics series, which picks up where the TV series ended.

"It really was like being home again," Whedon said wistfully about returning to "Buffy." " 'Oh, here are my old friends. They're so funny!' You can hear their voices so specifically. It was a comic spoken in the voices of actors you worked with for seven or eight years."
