Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic Book Reading Order

November 3, 2016 by Dave Leave a Comment

I’ll be the first to admit, I made a lot of false assumptions about Buffy the Vampire Slayer without ever having watched an episode. When my wife suggested we watch the series together, I scoffed. “The cheesy, campy… GIRLY CW show?!” I said, reverting into an uncouth caveman, and not noting for a moment the irony that this was coming from a guy who talks about the X-Men animated series like it’s Citizen Kane.

I was, and forever remain, a bonehead. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is brilliant, one of my all-time favorite TV show Universes, and the show that introduced me to a life long love of the creative mind of Joss Whedon.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel Comics Universe

The fascinating twist to Buffy comics is that you can enter as either a die hard fan of the TV show, or as someone who has never watched an episode.

If you’re a fan, and have watched all seven seasons of Buffy, all 5 seasons of Angel, and sometimes catch yourself watching Bones just hoping it will quietly morph into a Buffy spinoff, I recommend you jump to Angel: After the Fall and into Buffy season 8. The comics have continued Buffy as if the TV show continued on into seasons 8, 9, and (at time of publiction) now 10.

If you haven’t watched the series, or maybe havne’t watched every episode and would rather just enjoy it as a comic, that’s an option too! You can just start from the beginning of this guide, as all seven seasons of Buffy and five seasons of Angel have been curated into comic book collections that approximate the feel and story of the TV show.
