THE ESSENTIAL UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE WHEDONVERSE

Joss Whedon’s importance in contemporary pop culture can hardly be overstated, but there has never been a book providing a comprehensive survey of his career as a whole – until now. The Complete Companion covers every aspect of the Whedonverse through insightful essays and interviews, including fascinating conversations with key collaborators Jane Espenson and Tim Minear.

Over 40 contributors have been brought together by PopMatters, the acclaimed international magazine of cultural criticism, to provide an irresistible mix of analysis, interpretation and sheer celebration. Whether you’re a student looking for critical approaches to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or a Browncoat who follows Nathan Fillion on Twitter (or, let’s face it, both) there is plenty here to enjoy.

Covers all the TV series, movies, and comic books, including:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Fray, Astonishing X-Men, The Avengers... and more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Groundbreaking May 14 2012
By Stefan Blitz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Incredibly comprehensive, but lacking much of a narrative direction, Joss Whedon: The Complete Companion offers a fairly nice overview of the creative work of one of geekdom's most popular iconoclasts.

Essays and interviews comprise a large percentage of the book's almost 500 page length, but there isn't an awful lot of interesting analysis or information for the already established Whedonite.

Nevertheless, it's a breezy read and might be interesting with his less rabid fans who are just discovering him from The Avengers and decide to go back and check out his earlier work. Mildly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars for whedon lovers Feb 21 2013
By DEBBIE - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
to all joss whedon lovers, this book consists of articles writtern(and published) for whedon's work. every chapter treats a different issue- series/movies by whedon- and analyses it, in a way that you can read it in the order you want and not from start to the end.
it is a complete study on whedons work

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it as a gift for a Wheedon-head, or whatever you'd call em. Nov 25 2012
By Matthew Laker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My boyfriend enjoyed this. Only thing is he said that some of the shows he hasn't watched yet (like Angel) and so there are lots of things to skim and skip over- BUT still was a great book and a nice gift for anyone who lives in Whedonverse.
