Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon
Buffy comics such as this one are not usually consdered by fans to be canon. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of individual authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative reality. However, unlike fanfic, the authors wrote 'overviews' summarizing their stories early in the writing process and had them 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office). The books were later published as official Buffy merchandise.
