Buffy The Vampire Slayer-Inspired Jones Soda

<i>Buffy The Vampire Slayer</i>-Inspired Jones Soda

Buffy the Vampire Slayer might have ended in 2003, but don’t underestimate the surviving value of Joss Whedon’s intellectual property. And don’t think that just because something Whedon created isn’t on air that it’s gone. Just ask Firefly fans. Buffy, however, lives on in a series of comics published by Dark Horse and now even has a (limited edition) line-up of Jones soda flavors dedicated to our favorite Scoobies....  read more

High Definition: Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Finally Hits Its Stride—Just In Time For Cancellation

High Definition: Joss Whedon's <i>Dollhouse</i> Finally Hits Its Stride—Just In Time For Cancellation

If Fox had canceled Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse halfway through the show’s first season, I wouldn’t have shed a tear. It looked like the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog had finally created a dud.
