Yep, Buffy comics are fan fic
I tried reading the Buffy comics and just couldn't stand them.
Season eight seemed to be badly written fan fic to me and I
might have been right.
"Talking more about the Buffy comics, Whedon addressed the "Buffy and Angel
fuck a universe into existence" storyline, saying, "It's Brad Meltzer who turned the
comic into fanfic." He laughs, and adds: "Every writer comes with their own agenda
- I think Brad asked how many DC references he could make. Drew [Goddard] did
the Japanese arc, which is a big favorite of mine. He loved writing Dracula - the
silliness of that, and the giant Mecha-Dawn. We had the most fun breaking that
stuff together. Getting their voices into the story is fun. And sometimes you bring
the sexy - because we're people."
