What could have been... October 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a devoted Buffy/Angel fanatic, I figured that after the launch of Buffy: Season Eight at Dark Horse that it wouldn't be long before Joss Whedon let loose some new adventures for Angel as well. Well, here we are with Angel: After the Fall from IDW, which is basically what season six could have been. Picking up shortly after the series ended, Los Angeles has pretty much been turned into Hell on earth, and we soon learn just what has happened to Angel and his crew. In this first storyarc, we learn the fates of Angel, Spike, Gunn, Ilyria, Connor, Lorne, and even wolf-girl Nina and lightning-girl Gwen. There are a number of absolutely delicious twists and turns that will catch you by surprise as well. Co-plotted by Whedon and veteran Angel and Spike comics writer Brian Lynch; Angel: After the Fall isn't as engrossing as Dark Horse's Buffy series, but it is an entertaining ride regardless, even if the story becomes a little incomprehensible during all the big action. Franco Urru provides some great artwork as well, and IDW has done a fine job assembling the storyarc in a very handsome hardcover edition. All in all, Angel: After the Fall is a great new direction for the heroic vamp, and is a more than worthwhile trip for fans of the series.
 Disapointed but not suprised October 1, 2008

The story and dialogue is not up to the standards of what you'd expect from an "official" Whedonverse continuum. Especially after Buffy's season 8. Also the art is fuzzy and feels a bit tight fitted.
Unless the story improves from this, it would've been better to leave it at the excellent cliffhanger ending of the tv series.
Great book to wrap a great series September 23, 2008
This book was awesome. I am deployed to the middle east, but I will say this, that book helped pass the time. Can't wait for the other volumes.
 Whoa! September 10, 2008
Simply awesome! A fantastic follow up to the series, and a great story that I hope continues for a LONG TIME TO COME!!!
Simply fantastic!!

As much as I wanted to see what happened to Angel and the rest of the cast, I couldn't manage to stomach the hideous, hideous artwork in this comic. The characters are compltely unrecognizable from their TV equivalents and, in true terrible comic book fashion, all the women have huge "assets", always wear skin tight outfits and constantly want to have sex with either gender.
This was an insulting mess.
