Brian K. Vaughan, writer of such comics as Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways and Pride of Baghdad, has signed on as an executive story editor on the ABC skein "Lost."

Vaughan made the announcement on his message board, making it clear that he will continue to work in comics, including a four-issue stint on Joss Whedon's "Buffy: Season Eight" comic series.

Co-creator Damon Lindelof and supervising producer Javier Grillo-Marxauch have both penned comics, as well.
