Behind the Scenes

Production

The variant cover features a "deleted scene" from the issue; written by Christos Gage, illustrated by Rebekah Isaacs, and colors by Dan Jackson.
Due to the political tone of this issue and its publication date's proximity to the 2016 American presidential elections, Christos Gage wrote: “Proofed Buffy Season 11 #2 and man, are people gonna think this season's a response to the election, LOL. But I finished #6 before 11/8.”^[2]
