This is one of my favorite, if not favorite TV shows of all time. Every few years I go back and binge watch the entire series. So if would make sense that I would be influenced by it in my writing.
Alma is my new comic I'm getting ready to release on Kickstarter. You can go sign up for it now. Alma is a weird combination of Buffy and my Mom. My logline, which is the best one I've ever come up with for a comic, is "What if Buffy was a 72 year old Grandmother?"
Of course, it's not Buffy. It's Alma, a character that isn't Buffy. And there are no watchers. No Giles. Instead there is a companion, Tyrone, a three foot walking, talking garden gnome.
What I'm hoping is to take what I most loved about Buffy and put my own spin on it. And the main influence was the family Buffy created around her, and that's what I'm hoping to build around Alma, a family.
I'm really interested in other Buffy fans and your reaction to the comic. I really hope you will be interested enough to back the comic. It's not Buffy, but it owes a lot of its existence to Buffy. I hope you all give it a chance.
So if you're a Buffy fan, please pass this along, reblog, repost, just tell someone else about it. The best form of advertising is word of mouth. Let's talk about it here.
And if you run some sort of Buffy website or Facebook group or whatever, drop me a DM, and I can get you a pdf of the comic for you to read and if you like it to talk good about it.
