Joss Whedon FAQ

Providing a career-spanning view of everyone s favourite geek writer and director, Joss Whedon FAQ offers answers to fans questions about one of the most significant pop culture auteurs of the past twenty-five years. The book gazes at Whedon s early work in Hollywood as a script doctor on films such The Quick and the Dead (1995) and Waterworld (1995), and follows his career as he became the cult-favorite creator of such sensations as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible s Sing-Along Blog. In addition to looking at Whedon s ascent to blockbuster superhero filmmaking with titles such as The Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Justice League, this eminently readable compendium explores Whedon s lesser known but no less fascinating forays into the world of Shakespeare (Much Ado About Nothing) and even big-screen romantic fantasy (In Your Eyes). The book closes with discussions of Whedon s politics and feminism, as well as a catalogue of his (unofficial) repertory company and a list of the most memorable on-screen character deaths in his canon.
