-Among them was the revelation that Dark Horse has acquired all the Joss Whedon franchises under one Dark Horse roof!

-IDW is wrapping up all current titles before Dark Horse “takes over”, so to speak.  

-Sierra Hahn, editor of the new Dollhouse mini-series to be released in July, offered up some tidbits about the series: it’s an expansion of the already released one-shot, and is based on the “Epitaph” episodes of the series. 

-Phil Ando will be doing the covers, with one alternate cover to be done by rotating artists.  As far as Buffy- Season Nine, Joss Whedon himself will be writing issue one of the series and collaborating on the rest, and a new Angel series called “Angel and Faith”, with Rebecca Isaacs as the artist and Steve Morris doing the covers, will launch in August.

-In other Dark Horse news, new artist Tyler Crook will be taking over the artwork for B.P.R.D: Hell on Earth. 

-It’s interesting to note that Dark Horse discovered Crook at Long Beach Comic Con (he got friended on Facebook!), which goes to show that there’s always hope for you aspiring comic book artists out there.
