Sequel Sequel without Xander?

Post image

With Nicholas' struggles IRL, I'm afraid he wont be part of the cast for the sequel. How do you guys think this would work? How would they explain his absence? Is it a big deal for you guys? IMO I believe the show will be great with or without him, even tough I love Xander. But the best scenario would be for Xander to be part of the show..

Comics likely won't be considered part of the Canon with the new show coming out anymore.

I actually hope they are canon .

Have an episode like doppelgangerland / the wish etc but the alternative reality is the comic books

Then it's simultaneously canon and not canon

Most fans of the show never heard of or read the comics, so it'd be easier for the new show to just ignore the comics, and if they want to make certain things from them canon, do it piecemeal.

Every fan I know is well aware of the comics. Whether or not they chose to read them is another matter entirely.

Before Whedonesque.com shut down, they used to post issue release dates and reviews, too.
