These Hilarious Illustrations Reveal Every Fact About Buffy That You Could Ever Need

Everett Collection

As her grave once said, Buffy saved the world — "a lot." She dusted countless vampires, slayed her fair share of demons, and mastered the art of puns. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is, in my humble and not-at-all-biased opinion, the best show of all time.

With 144 episodes spanning seven seasons, it's no wonder there are never-ending facts to uncover about the series, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Slayer Stats is the book you need to help you discover more. It's a collection of hilarious infographics that break down crucial facts — like who was sleeping with whom, who sired whom, and of course, the evolution of "butt monkey." From character timelines to magical artifacts, a glossary of terms, just exactly how many vampires Buffy dusted on screen, and the final death toll (spoiler alert: it's high), it's a complete guide to all things Slayer-centric.

Ahead, see some of the best infographics from the book, and get ready to reminisce about the timeless series.
