We've kept you waiting long enough The gang's all here as the forces of evil attack from all sides. But Angel's not just fighting for his own life, the fate of someone he never thought he'd see again hangs in the balance. After the Fall, Part Ten. Months ago, Los Angeles went to hell. Or maybe hell came to Los Angeles. Find out the truth once and for all. Plus, someone's been manipulating everyone from the start. Angel would very much like to meet him, and he'll tear through every demon in LA to do so. Meanwhile, Spike has something important to tell Wesley, Illyria has a new role, and what the hell is Gunn keeping in the basement? After the Fall, Part Eleven. After the Fall, Part Twelve. Last issue, Angel and Gunn were reunited. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go very well, and it's about to get worse. Gunn's master plan has comes to light, and it not only does it have horrifying repercussions for Angel and his friends, it could spell disaster for all of Los Angeles. After the Fall, Part Thirteen. Gunn wants to save Los Angeles. Angel will do anything to stop him. Plus, someone makes Wesley an offer he can't refuse Revelations, surprises, and battles to the death, in the lucky 13th issue of the official continuation of the Angel series. After the Fall, Part Fourteen. The truth has been revealed. Master plans are on the table. People are dying. And evil is winning. The forces of good take their last stand, but with certain death surrounding them, they're going to have to do the unthinkable to win the day. After the Fall, Part Fifteen. Over a year ago, they were sent to hell. Lives were changed. Friends became mortal enemies. But now they're all reunited, and unsurprisingly, it is not going well. Friends will die, Los Angeles will fall, and the end of everything Angel holds dear is at hand. After the Fall, Part Sixteen. Unlike then, however, everyone who was in hell with Angel got to keep their memory. Quite the opposite! He is a hero, not just to the guys at Angel Investigations. With a plot that more or less returns the characters to the status quo by the end, there's inevitably the question of what was the point. Even this was expertly handled. Putting that in the mouth of Spike while simultaneously keeping true to his front of self interest while at the same time building more into their relationship was gold. In what essentially boils down to, 'the senior partners were so sure you'd come over to the dark side - they have cookies - but since they went to all this trouble to orchestrate it, maybe that future's not so set in stone after all' gave both a reason behind the After the Fall story arc, and showed that things weren't unchanged, if Angel's rise to celebrity wasn't enough towards that already. Another nod I liked came in the form of Spike's pre-existing friendship with Betta George, the psychic fish who appears in previous Spike fronted comics scripted by Lynch. Spike delivers Angel with a serve that just because he's not there, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm kind of sad to have After the Fall finished, though, for all that I'm not usually a comic book fan. My mind may be changing. Apr 15, Aaron rated it really liked it. When people say the L.

This seems to be the concluding volume that deals with all of the issues that have resulted from the storyline, including Gunn's turn to vampirism, Fred's connection with the uber-demon Ilyria, Angel's status of being the vampire with a soul fated to turn the tide for good or evil in the ultimate battle, and his relationship with his son Connor. The illustrations in this series have been amazing, capturing the look of all the originating actors for the various characters. Just about all of the regulars from the series, outside of humorous demi-demon Doyle, appear in the story, though I was disappointed to see that Lorne, demon lounge lizard turned city ruler, seemed to totally disappear outside of cameos in this volume. With that said, it was really awesome to see Cordy return for a while. This has really been an interesting story, but this final volume seems a bit overrun with plots and subplots so that it really seems to conclude with a whimper. Unlike the television series, fans are left with a lot more hope at the conclusion as well as wonderment as to where the surviving characters will end up. My understanding is that there will be at least one more graphic novel put out, called Aftermath, that will pick up the story with a new plot. May 29, M rated it liked it.

Overall, a strong conclusion to the After the Fall storyline. It does lots of great things with characters, and has some fun with the mythology. As a whole, I like the direction After the Fall took from the Angel finale. I complained previously about the fight with the Lords being troublesome. I suspect some better editing was needed, but the story as a whole seems to succeed despite its flaws. Jun 05, A Voracious Reader a.

At the conclusion of Angel : Season Five, all of Angel's efforts to save his friends and his city resulted in a hellish existence for all of them. Now, in the penultimate chapter of Angel: After the Fall , a final, climactic battle will see Angel live free or die for the final time. After the Fall, Part Seventeen. At the conclusion of the Angel TV series, Los Angeles and all its denizens were cast into a hellish dimension. Since then, Angel has sought redemption while dealing with the death and destruction brought on by his actions. But will anyone survive to see the conclusion? After the Fall, Volume 1. In Angel's final television season, his world ended Picking up where Season Five of the fan-favorite TV show left off, this hardcover edition looks at who lived after that climactic battle, who died, and what happened to all of Los Angeles in its wake. After the Fall, First Night. Angel and Spike fight briefly, and Illyria appears in defense of Spike. Meanwhile, Gunn has kidnapped Betta George and reveals that he blames Angel for being sired and wants revenge. Angel is attacked by Illyria, and gravely wounded. The Hell dimension is playing havoc with Illyria's powers, and she is time-skipping as she did in " Time Bomb ". Connor arrives revealing that he and Spike have been working as partners; Spike's " Hugh Hefner " lifestyle is part of his act. Angel confronts the Lords of Los Angeles, and challenges them to a battle for all of Los Angeles in two days. On the final page, Angel's inner monologue reveals his wounds are mortal, and he is no longer a vampire. Flashbacks establish that Angel was turned human by the Senior Partners to restrict his ability to oppose them. At Wolfram and Hart, Angel is healed through mystic chants that fix his mortal wounds, but Wesley warns him that they are running out of the supplies to maintain the glamour that he is still a vampire. Two demons arrive and beckon Angel to follow them, while outside, Gunn prepares for an attack on the building. Angel and Wes are taken to the town of Silver Lake, which is ruled by their old ally Lorne , who notifies them of his neutral stance concerning the upcoming battle. After Angel has a reunion with Groosalugg , Gunn and his vampire minions plant a bomb in the empty Wolfram and Hart building, completely destroying it. Wesley's ghost fades away as Angel prepares for the battle ahead. Wesley has been transported to a void, where he has an argument with a disembodied voice over his role of being the last representative of Wolfram and Hart. Angel's allies consider their options with Spike being the most vocal about his desire to depart. The battle begins with Angel and all his friends at his side, thanks to Lorne's last minute rousing. Spike asks Angel for help concerning Illyria , as Wesley is returned from Hell and joins his companions. Spike reveals he never would have come to aid Angel had he known Wesley would be there. Illyria turns her attention to the scene, notices Wesley's arrival, and reverts to Fred. Bookended by images of Betta George in captivity, the 'First Night' stories of Spike, Connor, and Lorne are presented in three sections. In the first section, Spike switches from self-congratulation and thoughts of retirement into defending innocents—including Illyria, who initially appears as Fred. The second segment displays Connor's internal conflict as he considers rejoining the fight, and is then inevitably drawn into it. The third section is presented in a cartoonish rhyming style, showing Lorne's path from Lindsey's murder to becoming lord of Silver Lake. The second 'First Night' issue initially focuses on Wesley's after-death awareness, including a visit from an unnamed female temptress who is acting on the Senior Partners' behalf. She pretends to be Fred, but Wesley is not fooled. The scene then shifts to Connor's situation; Kate Lockley arrives, armed to the teeth, and "rescues" Connor, taking him to her well-armed lair. In the present day, Betta George is still held captive by Gunn's lackeys, and it is shown that Gunn's vampires have been training against captive Slayers. In the first section, Gwen is making out with a guy on the beach when Los Angeles is thrown into Hell. The change in scenery has caused the device regulating her power to stop working, causing her to accidentally electrocute her male companion. In the second section, a crazy guy is preaching about the end of the world when Los Angeles is sent to Hell. Finally, Gunn wakes up in a vampire's lair to discover he's been sired. Learning the vampires were ordered to turn him, he kills their leader and takes charge of the group. Angel and his friends defeat the Lords of L. Lorne becomes the new Lord of all Los Angeles, while Angel goes back to the Hyperion Hotel to do what he does best: help people. Connor makes his feelings for Gwen known to Angel. Wesley takes Fred to his corpse, where she reverts to Illyria, who reveals that Fred is still within her. Angel has a comic book-esque dream where a superhero version of Spike is protecting the city while the mortal Angel is now an old man. Spike is left looking after Wesley. Angel, Connor, Gwen, Nina, and Illyria question a vampire over who killed the lord in 1. Illyria reveals to Connor, Gwen, and Nina that Angel is now human. Realizing that Illyria knew he was human through her ability to detect power, Angel tells Illyria to use her ability to search for the vampires "sitting on the power". Gunn has Betta George attacked by slayers, and eventually, a desperate George uses his ability to mentally freeze them. Gunn then has George attempt to contact help outside of L. However, Betta George has also contacted Angel for help. Angel arrives, ready to attack, after Illyria detected Gunn's gang, "vampires atop a structure brimming with power". Angel is horrified, however, upon recognizing Gunn in their midst. Angel sends Fred away with Nina on the dragon, while he attempts to rescue Gunn. As Angel discovers that Gunn is now a vampire and his own life is in peril, Connor, Spike, and Gwen return on the dragon to help with the rescue mission. Gunn reveals his visions to Angel, then uses a magical talisman to reverse the spells on Angel: his glamour and all the healing spells. Angel lies bleeding, broken, and dying as the cavalry arrives, only to be shocked by Gwen's apparent betrayal. Connor and Spike confront Gwen on her betrayal. Wesley is taken from headquarters to the scene of Angel's impending death, which spurs Fred's transformation into Illyria as she approaches the scene of a battle between Gwen and the dragon, whose name is revealed as Cordelia. On another plane, Angel is reunited with an apparition of Cordelia, meant to ease his transition. Wesley arrives and confronts Gunn with information from the Senior Partners: the visions are their own, and all they have wrought is part of a larger plan for Angel. He reveals Angel and Angel alone is still entitled to the future in the Shanshu prophecy, and delivers Angel a glimpse of it. Angel sees an image of himself as a vampire surrounded by dozens of dead bodies in the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle. This vision however, leads Angel to resign himself to death. Spike finds Gunn's captured Slayers, but they overpower him and he is slain. The Senior Partners send their larger army legions of dragons to the scene of the rooftop fray, and Cordelia the dragon is killed. Gwen, seeking atonement, sacrifices herself to destroy the legion in an electrical discharge. Connor makes his way into the building and defeats Gunn in combat, kicking him through the window. Connor's pleads to a dying Angel and helps him realize that he would never become a soulless vampire again; Cordelia's spirit bids Angel farewell after reassuring him of his status as a champion of good. While the group desperately encourage Angel to keep fighting and survive, Spike re-emerges seemingly alive, accompanied by the three Slayers who killed him. Gunn, on the streets, encounters Illyria and through feigning sadness and remorse, triggers her transformation into Fred, before he surreptitiously shoots her in the chest. A new demon army arrives in Los Angeles and takes Angel's body so that Angel can be resurrected to fulfill the prophecy. The source of Spike's own seemingly impossible resurrection is revealed as a five-minute time reset used by Gunn to train his vampires against Slayers. Despite being interrupted by the demon army, Gunn manages to successfully restore Illyria to her original demonic form, with the intent of using her fully restored powers to rewind time to before the Fall permanently. However, George looks within Illyria's mind: her frustration at being unable to create order leads her to decide to wholly collapse time - and with it, all existence. Illyria continues trying to unmake everything, believing that Fred would want to end everyone's suffering. She lashes out at and kills Groosalugg and many of the Spikettes. Gunn mortally wounds Connor and is defeated, but not killed, by Angel. Angel comes up with a plan to stop Illyria. Connor tells Angel not to let them win and then dies. Angel provokes Gunn into killing him after realizing that the Senior Partners' plans hinge on keeping himself alive. Angel's death causes the Senior Partners to reverse time to the moment before Los Angeles is sent into Hell, with everyone retaining memories of their time in Hell. While Spike and a now-humanoid Illyria attempt to hold off the demon army, a revamped Angel saves Gunn from being sired. After meeting a resurrected Connor and several of LA's denizens who retained their memories, Angel realizes that he and his team are now publicly recognized heroes for their roles in saving the city. One month has passed. Angel leaves Cordelia the dragon in the care of Groosalugg as part of an attempt to reclaim his anonymity.

Angel: After the Fall, Volume 4 by Brian Lynch

It would have been more tense of course if I had read this monthly because there are places and twists that would have made me sad until I could get the next volume but that falls a bit flat when you're reading the bound graphic novel. Some characters die, some don't stay that way and it ends up some place I'm not sure I'm going to like. However, the things that got undone are likely to make me happy. Jan 02, Deshawn Vasquez rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels. If this is the general direction that a potential season six would've gone, then it would've been a spectcular finale. While I'm interested to read more Buffyverse comics, I feel like After the Fall at least gives me a sense of closure to one side of coin if I decided to not read anymore. I at least have my Angel ending. Dec 23, Matt Hoemke rated it it was amazing. A powerful installment in the Angel mythos that provides one thing; much needed closure. This offers a grand look at the complex nature of the characters in Angel's world a world of only grey where good and bad bleed together.

It wouldn't be a finale in this universe if not for the deaths and resurrections of many of our main characters.

So much so that their LA branch never existed in the human inhabited version of LA? Ok, I thought to myself, with most of the last issue still in hand, I'll see how this plays out. Changing a vital part of history is not alien to the Angel- verse. Unlike then, however, everyone who was in hell with Angel got to keep their memory. Quite the opposite! He is a hero, not just to the guys at Angel Investigations. With a plot that more or less returns the characters to the status quo by the end, there's inevitably the question of what was the point. Even this was expertly handled. Putting that in the mouth of Spike while simultaneously keeping true to his front of self interest while at the same time building more into their relationship was gold. In what essentially boils down to, 'the senior partners were so sure you'd come over to the dark side - they have cookies - but since they went to all this trouble to orchestrate it, maybe that future's not so set in stone after all' gave both a reason behind the After the Fall story arc, and showed that things weren't unchanged, if Angel's rise to celebrity wasn't enough towards that already. Another nod I liked came in the form of Spike's pre-existing friendship with Betta George, the psychic fish who appears in previous Spike fronted comics scripted by Lynch. Spike delivers Angel with a serve that just because he's not there, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm kind of sad to have After the Fall finished, though, for all that I'm not usually a comic book fan. My mind may be changing. Apr 15, Aaron rated it really liked it. When people say the L.

This seems to be the concluding volume that deals with all of the issues that have resulted from the storyline, including Gunn's turn to vampirism, Fred's connection with the uber-demon Ilyria, Angel's status of being the vampire with a soul fated to turn the tide for good or evil in the ultimate battle, and his relationship with his son Connor. The illustrations in this series have been amazing, capturing the look of all the originating actors for the various characters. Just about all of the regulars from the series, outside of humorous demi-demon Doyle, appear in the story, though I was disappointed to see that Lorne, demon lounge lizard turned city ruler, seemed to totally disappear outside of cameos in this volume. With that said, it was really awesome to see Cordy return for a while. This has really been an interesting story, but this final volume seems a bit overrun with plots and subplots so that it really seems to conclude with a whimper. Unlike the television series, fans are left with a lot more hope at the conclusion as well as wonderment as to where the surviving characters will end up. My understanding is that there will be at least one more graphic novel put out, called Aftermath, that will pick up the story with a new plot. May 29, M rated it liked it. The final volume of After the Fall brings us closure, while leaving the story open enough to be continued. Gunn has a plan to fix everything - by killing Angel and using a mystical altar to jumpstart Illyria's time powers.

While seemingly erasing the event, this turn of the clock allows for Angel to rescue Gunn and prevent a repeat of his failures.

Thanks to IDW's slow paperback release schedule I'd actually forgotten a lot about what what going on in this story. At the beginning I found myself quite confused about what was going on. In addition to that I felt the art seemed to be very rushed and so I found myself not really enjoying it. For those reasons I only got about half way thought when I first started reading and it didn't make me want to keep going. Picking up where I'd left off things seemed to suddenly make much more sense and in the end it came to a pretty satisfying conclusion. The only thing I have against it now is the the artwork was still underwhelming. Overall a pretty good read but only for fans of the series who've already read the first three volumes. It's appears that IDW are not planning to release the rest of the Angel series in paperback, which is a shame! I've been waiting patiently for so long. If I'd known I would have bought the hardcover versions of the first four volumes so they all matched. Now I think instead I will buy the rest digitally. Jan 17, Alan rated it really liked it. Writers: Brian Lynch , Joss Whedon. Artist: Franco Urru. Picking up where Season Five of the fan-favorite TV show ended, the first issue in this maxi-series looks at who lived after that climactic battle, who died, and what happened to all of Los Angeles in its wake. After the Fall, Part Two. Between the array of new enemies and fallen former friends — not to mention the state of Los Angeles itself — can Angel possibly find a reason to go on? And can some familiar faces help provide that reason? After the Fall, Part Three. As it turned out, Angel didn't end up slaying the dragon after all. But maybe Illyria will! After the Fall, Part Four. Meanwhile, Spike considers changing sides as this hellish new status quo presents some opportunities he can't pass up. And we promise a shock ending more explosive than even those of the first three issues. After the Fall, Part Five. Everything he had was taken away from him. But now, in his darkest hour, Angel is taking it back. The battle lines are drawn, sides are chosen, and Angel takes a stand that will change everything and everyone close to him. What happened on the very night Los Angeles went straight to hell, the incident that ended the Angel television series with such a shocking cliffhanger? Why did the team go their separate ways? And how did Connor rise up to become one of Hell's greatest champions? This first issue of a two-part series-within-a-series has the answers you've been waiting for! Angel lost the battle. Los Angeles was sent to hell. The story of what happened during that fateful first night concludes, in this super-sized, jaw-dropping issue. The answers you've been waiting for, the stories you wanted to see. Heroes will fall, new champions will rise, and you'll also see the long-awaited return of Brace yourself. In this issue: Gwen begins to fulfill her destiny, Gunn begins his journey down the darkest path imaginable, and LA's citizens deal with being cast into Hell. After the Fall, Part Nine. We've kept you waiting long enough The gang's all here as the forces of evil attack from all sides. But Angel's not just fighting for his own life, the fate of someone he never thought he'd see again hangs in the balance. After the Fall, Part Ten. Months ago, Los Angeles went to hell. Or maybe hell came to Los Angeles. Spike is left looking after Wesley. Angel, Connor, Gwen, Nina, and Illyria question a vampire over who killed the lord in 1. Illyria reveals to Connor, Gwen, and Nina that Angel is now human. Realizing that Illyria knew he was human through her ability to detect power, Angel tells Illyria to use her ability to search for the vampires "sitting on the power". Gunn has Betta George attacked by slayers, and eventually, a desperate George uses his ability to mentally freeze them. Gunn then has George attempt to contact help outside of L. However, Betta George has also contacted Angel for help. Angel arrives, ready to attack, after Illyria detected Gunn's gang, "vampires atop a structure brimming with power". Angel is horrified, however, upon recognizing Gunn in their midst. Angel sends Fred away with Nina on the dragon, while he attempts to rescue Gunn. As Angel discovers that Gunn is now a vampire and his own life is in peril, Connor, Spike, and Gwen return on the dragon to help with the rescue mission. Gunn reveals his visions to Angel, then uses a magical talisman to reverse the spells on Angel: his glamour and all the healing spells. Angel lies bleeding, broken, and dying as the cavalry arrives, only to be shocked by Gwen's apparent betrayal. Connor and Spike confront Gwen on her betrayal. Wesley is taken from headquarters to the scene of Angel's impending death, which spurs Fred's transformation into Illyria as she approaches the scene of a battle between Gwen and the dragon, whose name is revealed as Cordelia. On another plane, Angel is reunited with an apparition of Cordelia, meant to ease his transition. Wesley arrives and confronts Gunn with information from the Senior Partners: the visions are their own, and all they have wrought is part of a larger plan for Angel. He reveals Angel and Angel alone is still entitled to the future in the Shanshu prophecy, and delivers Angel a glimpse of it. Angel sees an image of himself as a vampire surrounded by dozens of dead bodies in the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle. This vision however, leads Angel to resign himself to death. Spike finds Gunn's captured Slayers, but they overpower him and he is slain. The Senior Partners send their larger army legions of dragons to the scene of the rooftop fray, and Cordelia the dragon is killed. Gwen, seeking atonement, sacrifices herself to destroy the legion in an electrical discharge. Connor makes his way into the building and defeats Gunn in combat, kicking him through the window. Connor's pleads to a dying Angel and helps him realize that he would never become a soulless vampire again; Cordelia's spirit bids Angel farewell after reassuring him of his status as a champion of good. While the group desperately encourage Angel to keep fighting and survive, Spike re-emerges seemingly alive, accompanied by the three Slayers who killed him. Gunn, on the streets, encounters Illyria and through feigning sadness and remorse, triggers her transformation into Fred, before he surreptitiously shoots her in the chest. A new demon army arrives in Los Angeles and takes Angel's body so that Angel can be resurrected to fulfill the prophecy. The source of Spike's own seemingly impossible resurrection is revealed as a five-minute time reset used by Gunn to train his vampires against Slayers. Despite being interrupted by the demon army, Gunn manages to successfully restore Illyria to her original demonic form, with the intent of using her fully restored powers to rewind time to before the Fall permanently. However, George looks within Illyria's mind: her frustration at being unable to create order leads her to decide to wholly collapse time - and with it, all existence. Illyria continues trying to unmake everything, believing that Fred would want to end everyone's suffering. She lashes out at and kills Groosalugg and many of the Spikettes. Gunn mortally wounds Connor and is defeated, but not killed, by Angel. Angel comes up with a plan to stop Illyria. Connor tells Angel not to let them win and then dies. Angel provokes Gunn into killing him after realizing that the Senior Partners' plans hinge on keeping himself alive. Angel's death causes the Senior Partners to reverse time to the moment before Los Angeles is sent into Hell, with everyone retaining memories of their time in Hell. While Spike and a now-humanoid Illyria attempt to hold off the demon army, a revamped Angel saves Gunn from being sired. After meeting a resurrected Connor and several of LA's denizens who retained their memories, Angel realizes that he and his team are now publicly recognized heroes for their roles in saving the city. One month has passed. Angel leaves Cordelia the dragon in the care of Groosalugg as part of an attempt to reclaim his anonymity. Meanwhile, Spike rescues Betta George from one of the resurrected Lords of Hell, who warns him that the Lords want revenge against Angel and plan to do it by striking against the ones close to him. Realizing who the first target is, Angel, Spike, and George rush to the aid of Gunn who is in a coma , but Illyria is revealed to be single-handedly protecting him.

While Team Angel Investigations try to figure out how to handle the everyday demons, danger, and evil-doing on their own, Angel's whereabouts turn out to be part of a seriously sinister conspiracy. Things are not going so well for either our famously intrepid hero or his "merry" band of assistant heroes. Spike and Gunn finds themselves committing rooftop shenanigans, Connor is in over his head back at the office, and Angel is starting to wonder if anyone is going to find him before he dies of boredom. And just what is Connor "chosen" for, anyway? While Connor tries to get his devoted army of demon soldiers under control, a new player steps up, and Illyria decides not to take Angel's continued absence lying down. Meanwhile, Eddie Hope finds out that being a force for justice has some major consequences. As more vampires start running around Hollywood, Connor and crew must figure out a way to stop the carnage and deal with his little merry band of demon girls. Meanwhile, Angel has it out with his captors, before learning that things really can get weirder than he thought. Now that Angel is back in the fold, Connor must readjust to life as the Chosen One's son. Luckily, he has an army of demon women at his beck and call. But nothing could really prepare anyone for what Illyria has in mind. In the Angel family 'like father, like son' takes on a whole new meaning. With prophecies practically falling from the sky, Connor and Angel must figure out how to work together without getting back into bad habits. Meanwhile, Illyria's newfound interest in the prodigal son starts to get a little weird and the rest of the team wonders just what to do about ex- watcher Laura Kay Weathermill.

Meanwhile, the magical fallout from The Fall continues to get weirder, and Angel find himself with more enemies than you can wave a sharp wooden type thingy at. Demon armies. Dusting limbs. Prophecies run amok. The Angel-verse is always a little bit strange. But with Connor's life in danger, Angel must step up and take back his city. The only problem?

I can't say much without spoilers, but suffice to s The ultimate showdown: more dragons, a Pegasus, sword fighting, a telepathic floating fish, and a T-Rex! I can't say much without spoilers, but suffice to say I felt cheated. It is not a total who-shot-JR-ending man, my references are getting old , but it does create an epic build-up only to fall flat.

The end of the Fall. Thank God. The final volume of this set brings back the two worse artists of the series, Mooney and Urru. There isn't much that I can complain about with their work that wasn't said in reviews for volumes and that applies to Lynch's terrible writing as well. I will say that I thought that the hardback books looked good. The covers were nice and mine had the little string bookmark attached. The binding looked good and the books were sturdy and heavy. If nothing els Finally. If nothing else, they looked good on my shelf for the short time that I had them. I was not pleased with the overall direction of the story or the way that it was handled. There was not a smooth transition from screen to page with the looks of the characters and the dialogue didn't ring true with me. I felt that Lynch didn't handle the story well, it was jagged as well as the major players feeling stiff and reading out of character. Sadly, I have volume 5 of "Angel' and I know me I bought it so I will at least read it before I trade it but I am not looking forward to it. May 29, Jenni rated it really liked it. I didn't really know how I expected this arc to go, but there were almost as many surprises as there are pages! I had to read the end twice to fully digest it, and I seriously need someone to compare notes with on the ending. Some might consider it a cop out, but I could see what they were going for, it just would have been more of a revelation if portrayed on film.

Without including spoilers, I can't go into a whole lot of detail, but safe to say there are casualties aplenty and your heart strings are going to get pulled. The charactization and drawings were pretty good to coincide with the tv gang. Spike's witticism, and Illyria's awkward mannerisms are done with brilliant finesse. Overall, a solid four stars. It's left in a good place to stop if you only wanted the read official canon Whedon isn't involved after this volume , but I enjoyed it enough to pick up the next volume and see where it goes next.
