Broken Bottle of Djinn

[Allycat]

I'm just checking to make sure, but "Broken Bottle of Djinn" isn't canon, or is it?

I'm asking, because it was printed as a Tales of the Slayers one-shot. It's written by Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie.

i've never read this...does anyone know why it isn't included in my Tales of the Slayers TPB? and does anyone know where i can order it?

The ToTS TPB did have a Broken Bottle story, but it starred Rachel O'Connor. The girl that pretended to be blind and staked the vamps with pencils? Well, that's the set up for a one shot comic book that WASN'T included in the TPB. It featured Buffy having to deal with a demon or something...

I hope that clarified you question!

Are you sure TC? Because I think that the stories in the TPB are the following:

Prologue: starring the First Slayer
Righteous: starring an unknown Slayer
Innocent: starring Claudinne
Presumption: starring Elizabeth Weston
the Glittering World: starring Naazéé'neizgháni
Sonnenblume: starring Anni Sonnenblume
Nikki Goes Down: starring Nikki Wood
Tales: starring Melaka Fray

There's no Rachel O'Connor in any of them.

Hmm.

I know for sure I've heard of Rachel O'Connor and her comic book, but I dunno...

I just looked it up and it was a oneshot thing. There's a Broken Bottle 1937 and a Broken Bottle 1997. So, two of them, I think. My ToTS knowledge is limited, though.

according to Wiki, it's listed as being part of the TPB in the chronological sense, but at the top of the page, it's referred to as being it's own seperate one-shot.

*is confused*

Okay, so for everyone's clarity. There's two books we're talking about:

Tales of the Slayers (graphic novel) consists of the following stories:
Prologue: starring the First Slayer
Righteous: starring an unknown Slayer
Innocent: starring Claudinne
Presumption: starring Elizabeth Weston
the Glittering World: starring Naazéé'neizgháni
Sonnenblume: starring Anni Sonnenblume
Nikki Goes Down: starring Nikki Wood
Tales: starring Melaka Fray

Tales of the Slayers: Broken Bottle of Djinn (one-shot) is a story consisting of these two parts:
Part I with Buffy in 1997.
Part II with Rachel O'Connor in 1937.


The Tales of the Slayers graphic novel is also refered to as a TPB, which technically it isn't, because it doesn't really collect any previously published stories.

The two items (graphic novel and one-shot) have never been published in a collection together.

We know that the graphic novel is canon. But is the one-shot canon as well?!?
