Dark Horse/Wizard #1/2 special
- ::This story focuses on Xander. He is pushed around at School, Xander stands up to the challenge and later literally faces his demon.
Trivia
- Collected together a number of rarer Buffy comic stories.
- The Dark Horse/Wizard #1/2 special limited edition comic book was presented by Dark Horse Comics and Wizard Magazine and came with a certificate of authenticity.
Continuity
- Supposed to be set in early Buffy Season 3.
Canonical issues
- Buffy comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. 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 summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.
