So, I’ve been a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan since I saw the musical episode in the sixth season and caught up on both Buffy and its spinoff Angel soon after that. Since I’m a huge fan of comics in general (obviously), I started collecting the comics, and began working on a list of where each comic took place between the episodes, so I could watch them in order. I started out with the Chronology at the Buffyverse Wiki, because it’s amazing and includes every Buffy show and book and comic you can think of, attempting to place it in a complete chronology. Plus, I found a great watching order: Buffy/Angel Episode Watching Guide over at the Buffyfest Blog.

But I started working on my own list weeding out all of the flashbacks, the novels, and other things I wasn’t particularly interested in. I just wanted a simple reference that showed all the Buffy and Angel Episodes, along with all the comics, and maybe some of the books – and the best order to watch and read them all.

I’ve got a ways to go, but I thought that if I shared it now, I might help other people enjoy the show and the comics.

So, please take a look at the Table of Contents for J’s Analytical and Comprehensive Order of Buffy. (I wanted an easy acronym so I could make the URLs similar.) And please tell me what you think! Do you agree with my order? Disagree? Any other suggestions?
