DC to continue 'Veronica Mars'?

That's what the much-loved but now officially canceled skein's creator, Rob Thomas, is telling the Toronto Star in this interview (h/t to AICN). The show, which lasted three seasons on The WB/The CW, achieved a kind of cult status but never had success at drawing in an audience large enough to keep it going.

Obviously, any decision by DC to continue the show in comics is influenced by the sales success of Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight series. The ability of "Mars" to follow a similar trajectory is, however, questionable as "Mars" was never the hit "Buffy" was and Thomas doesn't have the cult of personality that always gives Joss Whedon a boost.
