LOS ANGELES—Joss Whedon, who extended the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television into another season via a Dark Horse comic book, is now doing the same thing with Angel.

At its Wizard World Los Angeles panel on Saturday, IDW announced that Whedon will co-write an Angel series that picks up where the television series ended.

“They will definitely be canon,” said IDW Publishing’s publisher and editor-in-chief Chris Ryall.

The new Angel book will be co-written by Brian Lynch. An artist and launch date have not been determined, although Ryall said it would not being until after the Spike: Shadow Puppets series.

Is anyone reading the current Spike and Angel comics?  Are they part of the continuum?

I haven’t read them myself but I hear good things and that Spike: Shadow Puppets series looks to cute for words.

I haven’t read the current comics but I am very interested in this season 6 idea. Especially how the show ended on a cliffhanger. I wanna know what happened with the dragon, dammit!

I heard that in interviews Joss Whedon said that viewers were supposed to assume that everyone gets killed.  And Angel without Wesley?  I dunno.

I had heard that if there was a Season Six, Gunn would have died, Spike would have become human and Angel would have lost a arm.
