Whedon, a lifelong comic book fan, authored the Dark Horse Comics miniseries "Fray", which takes place in the far future of the Buffyverse. Like many writers of the show, he contributed to the series' comic book continuation, writing for the anthology "Tales of the Slayers", and also for the main storyline of the miniseries "Tales of the Vampires". Whedon and the other writers released a new ongoing series, taking place after the series finale "Chosen", which he officially recognizes as the canonical eighth season. He returned to the world of "Fray" during the season eight-story arc "Time of Your Life". "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine" was published from August 2011 to September 2013, for which Whedon wrote "Freefall, Part I–II" (with Andrew Chambliss).
