[edit] Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon

Angel comics are not usually considered by fans as canon. Rather than being 'canon', some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors' and artists', whilst other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fanfic, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Angel merchandise.

[edit] Trivia

Characters include: Angel, Cordelia and Doyle.
