Buffyverse Canon
The ''Buffyverse'' canon consists of materials that are thought to be genuine (or "official") and those events, characters, settings, etc., that are considered to have inarguable existence within the fictional universe established by the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. The Buffyverse is expanded through other additional materials such as comics, novels, pilots, promos and video games which do not necessarily take place in exactly the same fictional continuity as the ''Buffy'' episodes and ''Angel'' episodes. ''Star Trek'', ''Star Wars'', ''Stargate'' and other prolific sci-fi and fantasy franchises have similarly gathered complex fictional continuities through hundreds of stories told in different formats. Definition Using the religious analogy of a canon of scripture (see Biblical canon), things that are not canon are considered "apocryphal." When a body of work is not specifically accepted or rejected by an authority, "canon" can be a fluid term that is interpret ...

The Origin (Buffy Comic)
''The Origin'' is a series of comics set in the ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' universe. It retells the events of the movie by adapting, and remaining faithful to, Joss Whedon's original script. According to the ''Official Buffy Watcher's Guide'', Whedon wrote the TV pilot episode of Buffy as a sequel to his ''original'' movie script, so this adaptation was a chance for fans to see something closer to his intended vision. Story description General synopsis Buffy Summers considers herself a normal high school student until a stranger approaches her and explains her destiny.

Tales Of The Vampires
''Tales of the Vampires'' is a five issue American comic book limited series (later collected in a single trade paperback), published by Dark Horse Comics and set in the Buffyverse. It comprises an anthology of short stories written by Joss Whedon, Jane Espenson, Ben Edlund, and Drew Goddard. Each story tells the tale of one or more Buffyverse vampires, and the otherwise unrelated collection is strung together by a bridging story written by Whedon. The anthology is presented as a series of stories told by an ancient vampire to a group of young Watchers. ''Tales of the Vampires'' is the tale of that storytelling session and functions as a bridge among the other items in the anthology. The stories in this series are generally considered to be an official part of the Buffyverse canon. Dark Horse published a new one-shot special based on the ''Tales of the Vampires'' concept by Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, Gabriel Bá and Fabio Moon in June 2009. Specifically, this one-shot i ...

Tales Of The Slayers
''Tales of the Slayers'' is a Dark Horse Comics ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' graphic novel that consists of multiple stories written by Joss Whedon, Amber Benson, and others which tell of different members of the Slayer line. The stories are presented in chronological order and offer snapshots of Slayers throughout history, from The First Slayer to Melaka Fray (the Slayer of the future who starred in her own limited comic series). The overarching theme of the graphic novel is on the loneliness and duties of being the Slayer. This is reflected in the juxtaposition of the first line in the first short story ("I am alone"), and the final line in the last ("I am not alone"). This graphic novel was followed by the one-shot comic book '' Tales of the Slayers: Broken Bottle of Djinn'' that followed the same concept. ''Tales of the Slayers'' and ''Tales of the Vampires'' have been collected with "Broken Bottle of Djinn" in a 2011 Hardback collection titled 'Tales'. Publication See ...

Fray (comic)
''Fray'' is an eight-issue comic book limited series, a futuristic spin-off of the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. Written by ''Buffy'' creator Joss Whedon, the series follows a Slayer named Melaka Fray, a chosen one in a time where vampires (called "lurks") are returning to the slums of New York City, and the rich-poor divide is even greater. Volume one is drawn by Karl Moline (pencils) and Andy Owens (inks). The series was published by Dark Horse Comics beginning in 2001, with delays between the first six and the final two issues caused by Whedon's TV commitments, during which Moline illustrated '' Route 666'' for CrossGen Comics. After the series' conclusion in August 2003, a trade paperback collecting the whole series was also published by Dark Horse. In a short video promoting the charity Equality Now Joss Whedon confirmed that "Fray is not done, Fray is coming back. More than that, I will not say." This was reiterated in 2007's Comic Con where Joss stated that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spike (IDW Publishing)
''Spike'' is a comic book series published by IDW Publishing. Written by Brian Lynch, it focuses on the character of Spike, a main character in television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and its spin-off, ''Angel''. Uniquely, although this is a spin-off from IDW's larger ''Angel: After the Fall'' franchise, it also serves as a prequel to Dark Horse Comics' own ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'' comic book series. As such, it is "canon" to the overall "Buffyverse" in which stories take place. Although originally intended as an ongoing series, the ''Angel'' rights transfer from IDW to Dark Horse caused the series end after eight issues. Lynch had previously written for Spike in the comic books '' Spike: Asylum'' when ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' creator Joss Whedon approached him to write the canonical continuation to ''Angel'', ''After the Fall'', in 2007. For ''Spike'', Lynch is reunited with frequent collaborator, penciller Franco Urru. Because of the circumstances behind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
