Your favorite novels

So Buffy tells me that Joss Wedon is still busy writing Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8.

Season 8? What are you talking about? I thought 7 was the end of it.

Welp, she goes on to say that Season 8 is not gonna be on tv. It's gonna be a comic book. Ok, so I go digging and find out she's right. Dark Horse Presents is doing it.

Then yesterday I make a trip up to my local comic shop and see that my favorite trilogy "The Dragonlance Chronicles" is still going strong as a comic book. What got my attention the most tho is the fact it's not stopping there. I picked up a freebee with the title Marvel Dabel Brothers Sampler. Just on the front I see the names Laurell K. Hamilton, George R. R. Martin, Monte Cook, Raymond E. Feist, Orson Scott Card, Kinley Macgregor, and R. A. Salvatore.

Those of you who hate to read.... George R. R. Martin does a fantasy series called A Song of Ice and Fire. R. A. Salvatore is the reason you love drow elves, with his Dark Elf Trilogy involving the character Drizzt Do'Urden. Raymond E. Feist did Magician Apprentice and Magician Master. And I'm ashamed you're alive if the name Orson Scott Card doesn't make you think science fiction.

So basically I'm stunned that all these novels are now being done in comic book form. And wondering how many pieces of art will get deleted because they didn't originate as comic books.
