Spike

As the ageless vampire Spike, James Marsters will soon need to be sucking up some Botox rather than blood if he is to wait much longer before reprising his iconic role.

In September 2005 Angel actress Amy Acker confirmed that she may be reprising her Angel role of Illyria opposite Marsters in a spin-off TV movie entitled Spike. Acker told E! Online: "I talked to (Joss Whedon) a couple of weeks ago and said that…

Buffy creator Joss Whedon, My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, and more take part in the return of one of the most storied anthologies in comics history with a little help from everyone's favorite internet addiction: MySpace.
