Continuity

*Supposed to be set late in Buffy Season 3.

Canonical issues

:main|Buffyverse canon

:Buffy comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.

Timing

*Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:

*Angel books. These instead focus on Angel and his so called 'Fang Gang'
*“Tales of the Slayer” These chronicle the stories of past slayers
*All of the above can be described as “Buffyverse novels”
