The Comic Works of Brian K. Vaughan

And by comic, I don't mean comedic. Brian K. Vaughan has started to branch out into writing television and film, but he got his start in comic books. The next series of posts will look at his three original series: Y: The Last Man, Runaways, and Ex Machina. Y has been completed, and is regarded by many as his magnum opus. Runaways is an ongoing series, but Vaughan handed the reigns over to Joss Whedon a few years ago (who has now given the writing duties to Terry Moore), while Ex is still ongoing. It has a definite ending, and has probably not reached as wide an audience as the other two, but it is still an amazing series that is worth looking at.

After that, I will feature Alan Ball's American Beauty and Six Feet Under, to be followed by a look at two web series. Dr. Horrible has already been featured on The Other Worlds, but I have yet to examine it since it was completed. The other is The Guild, written by and starring Felicia Day, who has worked closely with Joss Whedon on both Horrible and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Up next: But first...
