GCC EXCLUSIVE COVER
THIS IS IT! The official continuation of the Angel TV series! When last we saw Angel and company, they were charging into battle against Wolfram and Hart's Senior Partners and facing down endless demons in a dark and rainy alleyway. Now, IDW Publishing is proud to present the story of Angel: After the Fall, as presented by Angel co-creator Joss Whedon, with a creative team hand-picked by Whedon himself, the Spike: Shadow Puppets team of Brian Lynch and 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. Acclaimed artist Tony Harris (Ex Machina) and Urru provide special covers for each issue of this momentous series. Issue 1 features a full 27 pages of story and art!
"First, the negative: I hate hate hate HATE this art. If it weren’t for characters being identified by name, I wouldn’t know that half these people were on seasons and seasons of Angel. Oh, and thin outlines? Not your enemy. The positive, though, makes up for all that and then some: the writing on this is PHENOMENAL. If you want a brilliant, pitch-perfect follow-up to one of the best seasons of TV ever, stop writing your ‘Angel and Doctor Who fight a dragon’ fanfic and pick this up instead."
