Encyclopedia : W : WE : WES : Wesley: Spotlight (Angel comic)
Wesley: Spotlight is a comic based on the Angel television series, featuring the character of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.
Story summary
An extreme legal measure strikes down Knox in the form of a lethal venom, the current object of Winifred Burkle's affections. Forced to make a choice between letting Knox die or to save his life, as Wesley deals with his own affections for Fred and their ramifications. Spike accompanies Wesley, giving him advice based on his own point of view, but does little else.
Although Wesley contemplates leaving Knox to die, he nonetheless sets out to cure him of his condition, and is able to do so before Knox dies, thanks to some help from Spike after all. Coupled with the saving of Knox's life comes Knox and Fred's happy reunion, something that Wesley endures from afar, while he continues to give Spike something to think about.

Canonical issues
- Buffy/Angel 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.
