I agree, I was never into buffy or angel, and don't know what else he's doing. I am into Firefly / Serenity though and would only be interested in news of these projects

Were there monkeys, some terrifying space monkeys that maybe got loose?

I've been seeing a lotta comments like this these days, and they really irk me.

If Joss were “done” with the ‘verse, then why would he be writing the comics? They eat up time out of his busy schedule, don’t exactly pay him much, and reach only a very limited audience of dedicated fans. He’s writing the comics because he wants to tell more of the ‘verse and right now that’s the only way he can.

Then there’s the mistaken belief that if Joss was actually trying to get a sequel/continuation, the deal would’ve been inked by now. Joss has been trying to do a Spike TV or DVD movie for two years now and hasn’t made much headway. Unlike “Firefly,” the Buffyverse was an unqualified financial success and well established franchise—and if he can’t get that off the ground, how easy do you think it’ll be for the ‘verse to fly again? Not saying it won’t, but I am saying that Joss can’t just make a few phone calls and have it done. And if he is trying to get more, which I believe he is, it would all be happening behind closed doors at this point. I.E., we wouldn’t know about it.

Additionally, folks who say Joss should “move over” and let someone else pick up the reins are perhaps mistaken in thinking that there’s a slew of people itching to do the ‘verse right. Tim Minear has himself “moved on;” right now he’s busy putting the pilot together for his latest series. He’s put “Firefly” behind him and is pursuing his own projects these days. He’d probably come back if Joss asked him to write a sequel or something, but he’s not going to spend his own time and effort in the uphill struggle to keep the ‘verse alive. And after Minear, who else has the pull to really get the execs to listen to anything? The other writers have all moved on. It’s Whedon or nobody, people.

"Serenity comics: Brett and I have been very very busy and it's rude of you to bring it up. But it's gonna be tight!
Serenity sequel! My phone is silent and withdrawn.
Wondy Gal! It's all about momentum, baby. And cooking class." ...hmmm

EDIT: He sounds like he thinks people are mainly
into HIM and not his material. He's all over the
map with different universes....I couldn't care
less about his other projects. I wonder if he knows there are people like me.

I agree, if you look back at the interviews since the release of Serenity, Mr. Whedons new productions are on the front burner. In his own words Firefly is dead, Serenity was resurrected for the outpouring of fan base and his chance at redemption. Buffy and Angel were two hits that have a huge fan base following, Firefly is moving and it needs to move more. However, the damage was done by the cancellation and its all risk. You are absolutely right, if Joss does not have interest in making a return to TV with Serenity or another run at Firefly, then move over and allow other talent to run the production. Personally, if SciFi Channel can reserrect Battlestar Galactica, the possiblities are endless if the FF fan base kicks into gear.
