Bailey tracked down 100 books through interlibrary loan. Lane Community College generously gave me a sabbatical to continue writing and research. Finally, Mary Egan of Mary
Egan Ltd. in Auckland cast her exacting critical eye over the manuscript.
I would like to acknowledge the pioneering bibliographic work on the Buffyverse carried out by Alysa Hornick, Derek Badman,
and Gordon Melton (see Section 23: Bibliographies). In addition, I salute Joss Whedon,
and all the producers, directors, writers, actors,
critics, novelists, editors, journalists, artists,
scholars, reviewers, and fans whose work appears in this book. These many thousands of
people have labored since 1992 to establish
Buffy and Angel as worthy subjects for
thought, inspiration, and reﬂection. Without
their work, this book would not be possible.

Preface
see God and the soul at work in the characters
and themes. Most see a way to live in the
world with bravery, honesty, and integrity.
Some gain reinforcement for their existing
worldview, while others are deeply challenged.
A few, through the journeys of Buffy, Willow
or Spike, have experienced a sort of personal
epiphany, perhaps ﬁnding a tool to heal pain
and trauma, or to ﬁnd acceptance.
In the history of television, Buffy
occupies a strange and intriguing place. No
other TV show has attracted as much intellectual and academic attention. The results of
that attention make up a large part of this
book. Similarly, media critics loved Buffy. In
all the reviews I’ve read, it is rare to ﬁnd a bad
one. Several episodes (“The Body,” “Hush,”
and “Once More, with Feeling”) are routinely
considered amongst the ﬁnest television episodes ever produced. The show always places
in the top tier of those ubiquitous “100 Best
TV Shows” or “Top 10 Cult TV Shows” that
appear in magazines like Entertainment
Weekly. At the same time, Buffy never attained
a mass following, and was only moderately
successful in commercial terms. The show is
often labeled as “cult TV,” along with series
like The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Star Trek.
There are several important keys to understanding the Buffyverse. First, Buffy resists
easy categories and characterization. Second,
it rewards deep examination and sustained interpretation. I think fans from the beginning
understood this intuitively. They realized that
something bigger was going on below the
surface. Scholars have used terms like “lami-

On January 19, 2011, I was one of 150
people packed into the public library in downtown Portland, Oregon, for a thirtieth
birthday party. The party was for Buffy Summers, a ﬁctional character. There was cake, a
rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday,” trivia
contests (the star was a 6-year-old girl), and
“Hush” Pictionary. The editor of Dark Horse
Comics answered questions on the next stage
of our hero’s journey and described how Buffy
comics had propelled his independent publishing house to the top tier of comic book
publishers. Many other parties were organized
around the country.
Simultaneously, academics were happily
planning the ﬁfth International Slayage Conference on the Whedonverses, organized by
the Whedon Studies Association, and were
preparing to award the Mr. Pointy Award for
the best published academic work on Buffy
and Joss Whedon. Buffy Summers still exercises a compelling hold over the minds and
hearts of thousands of people, from young
girls to the most jaded critic. Why would a
seemingly simple television show create such
a reaction? What depths lie beneath that silly
name? What drives critics, scholars, artists,
novelists, journalists, television and comic
book fans to ponder, with great passion, all
that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
The answers are legion. Fans worldwide
bring to Buffy their own set of expectations
and desires. Because the show is so layered,
subtle, and sophisticated, it seems to meet and
satisfy those desires. In Buffy the hero, many
see empowerment for girls and women. Others

and directors have had a major impact on Hollywood. Buffy and Angel launched the careers
of dozens of actors. Most succeeded; some
faded into semi-obscurity. Whatever their
fates, there is a single constant: Buffy or Angel
always feature proudly on their résumés.
Buffy and Angel, along with Joss Whedon’s other works such as Fireﬂy, Serenity,
Dollhouse, and Dr. Horrible, continue to inspire huge enthusiasm. Whedon’s fans are famously loyal, and always ready to respond to
the latest rumor. Accordingly, poking Buffy
fans with a pointed stick has become a favorite
sport amongst Hollywood agents and publicists. This fan enthusiasm has gone into overdrive with the prospect of a new Buffy movie,
as well as The Avengers, a high-proﬁle superhero movie directed by Whedon, set for 2012
release.
But beyond all the hype and gossip, millions of people from all walks of life hold a deep
and abiding love for a strange, enthralling TV
show that had the capacity to make them laugh,
weep, think, fume, marvel, imagine, write, create; to gasp in wonder and snicker at the silliest
pun, sometimes in the same moment.

nated” and “polyvalent” to describe this phenomenon. A simple analogy might be peeling
back the layers of an onion. Almost all fans of
Buffy and Angel have experienced this feeling
that there is much more. This is one of the
reasons that academic attention to Buffy has
been so extensive, and why the corpus of
Buffyverse fan ﬁction is one of the largest and
most imaginative in existence. The show
opens up vast spaces for interpretation, reinvention, and reﬂection. Politically and culturally, appreciation of Buffy is amazingly diverse.
Conservatives like Jonah Goldberg of The National Review and Jonathan Last of The Weekly
Standard share the same enthusiasm as Gail
Collins of The New York Times and Laura
Miller of Salon. Columnists from Christianity
Today write glowingly about Buffy alongside
writers from AfterEllen and The Advocate.
Some interpret Buffy as the repudiation of patriarchy and transnational capitalism, while
others see the reassertion of personal responsibility, strength, and morality. For a show created by an atheist, there are an amazing number of interpretations based on religion and
faith. As Whedon once said: “Bring your own
sub-text.”
Although Buffy and Angel have disappeared from television, both continue in comic
book form, and the creative forces behind
them are still producing brilliant work.
Creator Joss Whedon has developed a stellar
career in movies, television, comics, the web,
and as an activist for human and women’s
rights. Marti Noxon, Jane Espenson, Tim

Introduction
divide fans and critics. Inevitably, it pales in
comparison to its TV descendant, but some
have argued that it should be evaluated in its
own right as campy, proto-feminist, and enjoyable (Rechtshaffen and Stangl). Headliner
Kristy Swanson, despite a creditable performance, never achieved further success. The
movie turned out to be the high point of her
career. Director Fran Rubel Kuzui sank without trace; her name lives on mainly in the
continued disdain of Whedon fans. On the
other hand, it revived Paul Reubens’ career
with his bravura death scene, and launched
Hillary Swank on her path to movie stardom.
The movie also boosted the careers of David
Arquette, Thomas Jane, Natasha Gregson
Wagner, and Stephen Root. Ben Afﬂeck, Ricki
Lake, and Seth Green appeared as extras (Internet Movie Database).
The writer, Joss Whedon, tucked his disappointment into his back pocket and returned
to a career working on movie scripts. He was
nominated for an Oscar in 1995 for Toy Story.
Oddly, Whedon was not the prime mover behind the television revival of Buffy (Moore). In
1996, producer Gail Berman discovered that
Fox had (inexplicably) failed to secure TV
rights in the original movie contract (Daniels
and Littleton 118). This provided a legal opportunity for Whedon to take the Buffy
characters to television. At the time, nobody
expected Whedon to give up a lucrative moviewriting career to revive a failed concept, but
he decided to take up the challenge.
Whedon and Berman pitched the idea to
the WB, a ﬂedgling mini-network. WB exec-

Joss Whedon developed the idea for Buffy
around 1988, while working as a staff writer on
Roseanne. His original concept, oft quoted,
came from “seeing too many blondes walking
into dark alleyways and being killed. I wanted,
just once, for her to ﬁght back when the monster attacked, and kick his ass” (Havens 21). He
optioned the script to Sandollar Productions
in 1988, and three years later, the producers
Kaz and Fran Rubel Kazui picked up the project. Fox funded the movie in return for worldwide distribution rights. The movie was a summer release in 1992. In production, the script
was heavily amended by the director, Fran
Rubel Kuzui. The result was a shift in tone
from what Whedon had envisaged. Instead of
Whedon’s concept — a “scary ﬁlm about an
empowered woman” (Havens 23)—the movie
devolved into camp comedy. Some of the cast
also improvised dialogue (badly), and the
shooting was compressed into a frantic 29 days
(Backstory), with a tense and unhappy set.
Whedon watched helplessly as his idea went
awry, and eventually he left the set entirely
(Moore).
The movie did good business in theaters,
returning twice its bare-bones $7million to $8
million budget (Internet Movie Database).
Critical reception was lukewarm at the time,
with descriptions like “bloodless,” “lifeless,”
and “modest” being typical. In the New York
Times, Janet Maslin damned it with faint
praise, calling it “a slight, good-humored ﬁlm
that’s a lot more painless than might have been
expected.” She called Whedon’s script “uneven
but bright” (Maslin). The movie continues to

Jensen, who championed the new show at Entertainment Weekly. By the end of Season 1,
Buffy was on a powerful burn to critical success,
although ratings remained low. Fortunately, the
WB decided to take a chance, and the show
beneﬁted from greatly improved writing,
budget and production values in Season 2
(Moore). Nevertheless, the ultimate accolade—
a Best Show Emmy—always remained out of
reach, a snub that still rankles with some critics.
Scholars also began to pay attention. The ﬁrst
articles approaching Buffy from an academic
viewpoint appeared in 1998, along with guidebooks from Nancy Holder and Nikki Stafford.
In 2001, Reading the Vampire Slayer, the ﬁrst
book-length academic treatment, was published in the UK, followed soon by Fighting
the Forces. By this point, Buffy was a full-ﬂedged
cultural, critical and popular phenomenon.
Angel was spun off in 1999, and earned its own
dedicated fanbase and critical success, although
it was quite a different show in tone and philosophy. Buffy ended in May 2003, followed
by Angel a year later; but the afterlife of the
Buffyverse had only just begun.

utive Susanne Daniels bought the series in
one meeting. There were many perilous moments in casting, but Whedon persisted, and
gradually the core cast of relatively unknown
actors began to coalesce: Sarah Michelle Gellar,
a teen soap starlet; Nicholas Brendon; Anthony
Stewart Head (best known at that point for a
coffee commercial); David Boreanaz; and
Charisma Carpenter. The pilot episode was
rough and barely watchable, and the project
seemed close to failure. At the pilot screening,
Susanne Daniels pleaded for the show, against
some opposition. WB head Jamie Kellner
ﬁnally agreed, provided that the part of Willow
was recast (the role eventually went to Alyson
Hannigan). The concept of the Hellmouth was
also thoroughly reworked at Kellner’s insistence.
In March 1997, Whedon launched Buffy
the Vampire Slayer on television. For the ﬁrst
time, he was in charge of his own creative destiny: “As far as I am concerned, the ﬁrst
episode of Buffy was the beginning of my career. It was the ﬁrst time I told a story from
start to ﬁnish the way I wanted.”
Buffy began promisingly with a wellcrafted publicity campaign from the WB. First
reactions from audiences and critics were
mixed. Many were expecting the campiness of
the movie, and were disconcerted by the darker
tone. When I saw the ﬁrst episodes, I found the
approach unexpectedly violent. My wife, who
is made of sterner stuff, encouraged me to stick
with it, and by the third or fourth episode, I
was experiencing a gradual and subtle epiphany.
Something was happening here. I remember
thinking: “I’d better start taking notes.” Many
others had the same idea. People started paying
serious attention. Newspaper and magazine
critics were among the ﬁrst to notice Buffy. At
a time when the show was little more than a
blip on the public consciousness, Buffy captivated journalists such as David Bianculli, Matt
Roush, and especially Ken Tucker and Jeff

This book is divided into two major
parts:
Reviews: There is one exception to this
division: reviews are included with the source
materials. Reviews of the Buffy movie, TV
episodes, DVD sets, novels, comic books,
games, and books are included with the appropriate section.
I. Licensed (Primary) Materials
II. Unlicensed (Secondary) Materials
file
I. Includes everything ofﬁcially licensed
by the legal license-holders (Fox Television
and Mutant Enemy). Another way to look at
this section is as “primary” material. It
includes all the texts of the Buffyverse: the
movie, TV episodes, DVDs, scripts, novels,
comic books, CDs, and games. Also included
are licensed peripheral materials in print format, such as fan magazines, posters, and trading cards. These are often called collectibles.
Non-print collectibles (such as ﬁgurines, lunch
boxes, Spike puppets, and “Kiss the Librarian”
mugs) are not included.
However, not all of this primary material
is considered “canonical” by fans, who tend to
have a more restricted view of what constitutes
the basic text of the Buffyverse. According to
the extensive Wikipedia article on the subject
(“Buffyverse Canon”), the ofﬁcial canon is
conﬁned to the two TV series, and seven of
the comic book series.
II. Covers unlicensed or secondary materials. These are not sanctioned by the license
holders, and are generally independent commentaries, analyses, reimaginings, or discussions about the original texts. These include
books, essays, articles in journals, magazines
and news sources, TV documentaries, interviews, dissertations and papers, and derivative
works such as parodies, fan ﬁction, and fan
videos.
