[edit] Trivia
- Creator Joss Whedon has mentioned in interviews that he had hoped that the character Illyria would have gotten more time to develop had there been an Angel Season 6.[citation needed] When Angel was cancelled after Angel Season 5, there was still an opportunity to further explore the character in comic format.
- The subtitle for Russell Walks' cover (see image on the right) reads:
-
-
-
- "I WILL FIGHT. '
- RETURN IN KIND EVERY BLOW. EVERY STING
- I WILL SHRED MY ADVERSARIES"
-

[edit] Continuity
- Supposed to be set during Angel Season 5, before the episode Not Fade Away.
[edit] 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.
Peter David, has regularly mentioned on his web log, that he is a big fan of the Buffyverse, and also mentioned that he did his best to keep his Buffyverse comics consistent with continuity established by canon.
