Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics Refer to comic books based on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . While many of these comics have been published when they were not shownin the TV series,they were not all considered canonical and often deal with characters who do not appear in the television series, most notably in the Tales of the Slayers and Tales of the Vampires mini-series .
The first series of books was published by Dark Horse Comics between 1998 and 2004, originally in a comic format but then collected in volumes of trade paperbacks . A small number of Buffy comics, such as the books entitled “Giles”, “Jonathan”, and “Reunion”.
Following the television series finale, Dark Horse began releasing new books titled Season Eight, Nine, and Ten, and various spin-offs, which are written and / or supervised by creator Joss Whedon and officially recognized as canon to the show. In 2007, Darkness in the world for the chickens and chickens. Angel to lapse, and they are picked up by IDW Publishing, who released the canon series Angel: After the Fall among other non-canon titles. Dark Horse reacquired the rights in 2010 and went on to release the official Angel: Season Six and the spin-off series Angel & Faith .
Relation to the TV series
Series creator Joss Whedon and a number of writers involved with the television series authored many of the comic books. Overviews summarizing the comic books’ storylines were written early in the writing process and were approved by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were accordingly published as Buffy merchandise.
The stories in the Buffy comics take place in between the Buffy and the Vampire Slayer TV series, and continue after the series ended. Issues 1 to 63 take place during the period that the series was still on air, and none are written by Joss Whedon himself. The earlier issues are not very easy to place in the series other than the season they are set in. The stories get more specific later on, however; for example, the Oz Buffy comics fill in the storyline of Oz’s character after he leaves the TV series, and the Death of Buffy comics clearly take place between Seasons 5 and 6 of the series.
Starting in 2007, a new series of Buffy comics has been produced, also published by Dark Horse Comics . These are a canonical continuation of the tv series and as such are considered Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight . One of the other comics considered is the 8-part series Fray , since the main character, Melaka Fray, appears in Season 8 . Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season EightJoss Whedon continues the storyline. A subsequent “Season Nine” followed, accompanied by a companion or sister-series “Angel & Faith” which is set during the same time period and interchanges plots and characters. “Season Ten” debuted in March 2014, followed by the continuation of its companion series.
Stories
These stories are first published by Dark Horse comics , most of Buffy stories are collected in Buffy comic books.
