After one and a half months of solo work, I finally got the first new author to join Comic(s) Relief. He has been a close personal friend of mine and I hope we will have a fruitful cooperation. With his adition to the team, I will also add a new category called Overview. It will feature general introductions into specific topics like a series, a comicbook character or other things connected to our main topic.
He is new to the world of blogging and has created this page to get acquainted with everything. Welcome aboard, dude!
The second last issue of Angel – After the Fall has hit the shelves last week and as expected, Brian Lynch finally throws the two former allies Gunn and Angel into the ring. Angel discovers that Gunn was turned and of course he tries to save his former friend. At first, it seems like the two could work together but then the demon in Gunn takes over and he overpowers Angel. Gunn goes as far as to dispel the glamour that was preventing everybody from seeing Angel’s newfound mortality. The cliffhanger ending of this issue is one of the best in the series so far and with only one book left to finish the mini-series, the anticipation is enormous. Too bad it will be another month until the conclusion is finally unveiled.
I must say that I found some of the dialogue in this particular issue a bit out of place. Especially Angel’s text parts where sometimes a bit too over the top for the character. Other than that it was a solid issue with a nice crescendo towards a hopefully amazing climax. The last issue could go either way and killing Angel might be one of them. I’m actually more intrigued to find out if they will continue the series or call it quits. Let’s hope Angel – After the Fall generated enough sales to continue into a seventh season. Although I must say I would prefer a return to the old format. Dragons and L.A. turning into hell were a bit much for me, but as a real fan of the characters I could stand it. I guess the whole series will really stand or fall depending on the ending.
