No, no, no.

The question isn’t whether “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”-“Angel”-“Firefly” mastermind Joss Whedon is writing the next “X-Men” movie.* (Think, stupid! Harry doesn’t let us write about movies in Coaxial News until they’re out on DVD!)

*Do we need to point out here that the Whedon already did an uncredited polish on the first “X-Men” movie? Didn’t think so!

The question is whether Whedon will be taking over writing duties on what is already one of Herc’s all-time favorite comic books, ”New X-Men”.

According to comicbookresources.com, that’s what’s happening.

No one I’ve contacted has denied this is happening.

Whedon is no stranger to the comic book. He’s written “Fray” and “Angel” and “Tales of the Slayers” and “Tales of the Vampires.” But if it’s true (and I believe it’s true), this will be the first time Whedon will write a comic series set outside the Buffiverse.
