The Canonical Comics

“To read makes our speaking English… good.”
Xander (‘I Robot, You Jane’)

So, what happened after the events of Buffy and Angel? Did Angel and his team survive the destruction of their offices and their encounter with the demons in the alley? Who lived? Who died? And what happened to Los Angeles?

Luckily, Whedon and several comic alumni were tasked to tell the story. It began straight away in the alley behind the Hyperion and before you knew it the story exploded! We saw the return of Buffy and the Scooby Gang in canonical adventures, set after the fall of Sunnydale and reintroducing several familiar faces along the way!

Unexpected developments were the norm as Whedon and company crafted new tales, furthering the story. Watch Buffy and Faith as they continue their journeys, training new Slayers to defend the world – all while living on top of each other and dealing with the Forces of Darkness! Willow, Spike and Giles also received their own titles that added to the main books. From the return of some old (and we mean old) enemies, some reunions with acquaintances long forgotten – and of course, a resurrection or two – the comics were eagerly snapped up by fans and can be quite rare to physically find, some of them!

So follow the journey from that alley way behind the Hyperion, to Scotland, to Nevada, Sunnydale, Quor’toth, London, Tibet and even Hell itself. And that’s before it all ties up in a finale that takes us all the way to the 23rd century and back again!

Welcome to the canonical continuations…

Welcome to The Watcher’s Guide, a resource, quite fittingly, back from the dead!

The original website shut down in 2004, following the cancellation of Angel. Now with a new show set in the BuffyVerse eagerly anticipated by fans old and new and featuring the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, it’s time to spruce up The Watcher’s Guide for a new generation.

All the episodes have been added, along with notes, biographies and continuity references. But as always, one question remains… Where Do We Go From Here?
