Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an American cult television series that aired from 1997 until 2003, which followed Buffy Anne Summers, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, the latest in a line of young women chosen by fate to battle against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. Like previous slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides and trains her. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the "Scooby Gangâ€.Outside of the TV series, the Buffyverse has been officially expanded and elaborated on by authors and artists in the so-called "Buffyverse Expanded Universe". In 1998, Buffy the Vampire Slayer became a comic book series, published by Dark Horse Comics until 2004. Recently, creator Joss Whedon announced that he would return to the Buffyverse, with an upcoming mini-series scheduled for March 2007, which will detail what 'Season 8' of Buffy would have been, had the show continued.Buffy comics are not usually considered as canonical by fans. 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 summarizing their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and books were therefore later published as official Buffy merchandise. For this reason, I created a website solely devoted to the Buffyverse comics (as well as its spin-off, Angel)To redirect to the site, go to: http://buffycomics.hellmouthcentral.com/..
