Yay for last minute Christmas shopping. I was going to wait until later to buy Angel: After the Fall #2 mainly because I'm lazy and hate crowded malls, but I had to rectify a gift issue, so, comic joy!

I've come to the conclusion that Joss is writing or involved with too many comics. There's so much to keep track of. Thus, Angel's comic book season six sort of crept up on me. I almost forgot it came out today.

It's sort of ironic that both Buffy and Angel are getting the canon comic treatment. Who would have thought that after all this time we would be reading new stories about these characters. I think if you talked with a teenager today they probably would have no idea about Buffy, let alone Angel. I mean, in Canada no one shows reruns, at least none of the readily available channels. So good to see Angel back even if it's only in two dimensional form.


It's a shame the Buffy and Angel comics are published by different companies. The best we can hope for is a brief appearance. So no Slayers showing up to help out. And likely no mention of Angel's fate over at Buffy. I can see why Joss decided to put season eight a year and a half ahead; you don't have to deal with Angel's situation. Also, no star treatment for Angel. I haven't heard anything about old writers turning up to write an issue. Probably because this is only a mini and not a series. For now at least.
