'Buffy' writer returns for Oz comic

Buffy The Vampire Slayer character Oz will be the focus of a new comic book series written by the show's former writer and producer Jane Espenson.

The scribe told Sci Fi Wire that she is returning to the Sunnydale-based franchise to pen the further adventures of the werewolf, played by Seth Green in the television show.

"I'm doing this five-issue Oz arc," she said. "I am planning on doing a lot of writing on that over the Christmas break."

However, she revealed that her work on another Joss Whedon project will take precedence, saying: "The next thing I'm going to do is finish this Dollhouse script, then we get into that Oz comic and really, really knock that out."
