Buffy is not the first comic to stray from its original form, Krensky said, and he added that
sometimes he wishes comic writers would let the story "run its course" rather than go off on
endless tangents.
"Superman" writers, said Krensky, went as far as developing "Superpets" to extend the
comic's story line.
"This is just the latest installment of [a comic] pushing the envelope," said Krensky, who was
once a fan of the "Buffy" television show. "It disappoints me if the only reason they do it is
because they're looking for new wrinkles to just have something to write about."
Whedon says that's just not the case -- and that he wouldn't continue writing storyboards for
"Buffy" if he didn't think it was truly advancing the story.
"I don't need to push the envelope. The reason I'm [still writing it] is that we love it and we
couldn't stop telling these stories," Whedon said.
He said he's confident fans won't stray from the comic and will understand Buffy's desire to
experiment.
"We have a glut of ideas, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to like them," Whedon said.
"But eventually, if the comic doesn't feel like it's artistically valid or if it's not selling, then we'll
stop making it."
