KGB

American Virgin and Pixu writer/artist Becky Cloonan has just launched the site for her latest web comic, KGB.

Hwan Cho, Cloonan’s friend and collaborative mind behind the series, said of the comic, “[It’s] an epic tale within the Korean music scene in the 90’s. Full of sweat, love and DANCE!”

Set to premiere next week, September 9, the site currently lists and profiles the characters of the story; the comic is expected to be updated weekly.

Becky Cloonan and Vasilis Lolos Deliver Buffy Without Buffy

BTVS Season 8 Tales of the Vampire: The ThrillJune marked the first month in which Joss Whedon‘s Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight took a break from the familiar faces we have fallen in (and out) of love with to introduce the human-vampire co-existence brought upon by Harmony. American Virgin writer Becky Cloonan writes up the parallel story, titled Tales of the Vampires: The Thrill, as Grecian artist Vasilis Lolos (The Pirates of Coney Island) provides Buffyverse readers with a very colorful and crisp world very new to them.

The issue introduces the protagonist of this one-shot, Jacob, a morose teenager (surprise) with Xander’s geek factor and Riley’s desperation. As vampires are now accepted and assimilated in society, Jacob quickly illustrates the long-chronicled allure of vampire lust.
