*After ''[[Viva Las Buffy!]]'' and ''[[Slayer, Interrupted (TPB)|Slayer, Interrupted]]'', this story is part of the third book of the "Buffy: Year One" trilogy, the last stories of ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic'', about Buffy as a Slayer before her arrival in Sunnydale.<ref name="PtP"/>
*Editor [[Scott Allie]] declared about this title: "We entered into [the final part of the 'Year One' storyline] knowing it was going to be the end of the monthly series. The [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|TV show]] was ending, we'd just done a series in a mental institution [in the arc 'Slayer, Interrupted'], and we all felt we were doing the best work the monthly had seen. Our disappointment with having the book end was reflected in the extremely dark storyline."<ref name="PtP">[[Scott Allie]], ''[[Panel to Panel]]''. [[Dark Horse Comics]], December 2007.</ref>
