Suggested reading after Buffy Season 2. The interlude between Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 and Season 3 is pretty short. I’ve included the story that takes place right after Season 2, as well as an earlier Spike & Dru story that makes more sense to read after we’ve been introduced to Spike & Dru. I thought about including here the two stories that took place right before they arrived in Sunnydale, but thought that they fit better right after that episode.

I created this page because I wanted a simple reference that showed all the Buffy and Angel Episodes, along with all the comics, and maybe some of the books – and their nominal viewing/reading order.
