Veronica Mars Comic: Not so fast, buddy!

Despite reports last week that Wildstorm would be publishing a Veronica Mars comic taking off from where the series left off, now it appears that this may not be happening any time soon…

In this week’s Ask Ausiello, TV Guide’s columnist Matt Ausiello had this to say:

Regarding VM, Rob Thomas is knee-deep in his new role as show-runner of ABC’s Miss/Guided, so plans to continue VM via DC Comics are a ways off. “Running a new show is more than a full-time job,” Rob tells me. “I only want to do the DC thing if I’m writing it, so it may take a while.”

This seems like an odd choice – I appreciate that Rob Thomas is busy, but why not farm it out to other writers and ‘show run’ it – in a Buffy season 8 kind of way? Surely it’s better to release the comic now when the show is fresh in people’s minds rather than wait until it fades?

Anyway – it looks like we may have to last a while longer to see what happens with Keith’s election, whether Logan is a marked man or whether Piz will piss off over the summer.

In other Veronica Mars news, Jason Dohring – better known as two-fisted Logan Echolls (I really need to stop calling him that) – has apparently assumed the role of Josef, an ancient vampire regular in upcoming CBS vampire-detective show Moonlight, which is run by Angel co-creator David Greenwalt.

So it doesn’t sound like Angel at all.

Dohring replaces Rade Serbedzija (24‘s one-armed Dmitri from the season just passed) in the role as apparently someone sussed out that you don’t have to be old to be an ancient vampire…
