Because we know that Dark Horse will move Buffy's story a few months to a year after the events of S8 #40 with Season Nine, can we expect IDW to do the same with Angel?
Everything coming from IDW is pretty much set between "Not Fade Away" and Buffy Season Eight. We also know that Angel becomes Twilight so the current Angel title has to lead up to that eventually.
My question is: Will Angel have a "Season 7" with a post-Twilight Angel?

Well the only Angel comics that are actually canon is ATF. Everything onwards is not. I don't think we're gonna see more canon for Angel anytime soon. Especially not post-Twilight.

Guess we'll see what happens in Season 8 before assuming Angel even has a future.

Unless they spilt Angel’s entity into two I can’t see IDW series making much sense for much longer. It’s easy to just say it’s not canon forget about it, but one can still enjoy it even though it’s not seen as canon.
But I just hope they address the universe evolution as seen in season 8. I for one would prefer they use the same storyline as DH’s used for their Angel (or IDW write Angel out of the next arc altogether) and bring him back after DH has explained his big change and have IDW work and incorporate that into developing the new Angel characteristics. And set the rest of the IDW series around the same time of the Fray future if something happens to the current world in season 8...
Most of the import Angel cast could come back in the future with the help of James/PTB...
Illyria- immortal right?
Connor – time travel?
James- higher being/immortal
Gunn- Vampire again/ time travel?
Angel/Spike -vampires.
Cordelia- Higher whatever...

She said so herself Yeah, I know they can't/wouldn't use Fray but I just mean set around the same time in the future, give or take a few decades... IDW can't have 'Angel' without Angel and how long they can keep the storyline going before Angel is meant to go thought the change... (well, time is moving a lot slower than the TV show so I guess as long as they want really, but at so point somethings got to give. It would be just an important arc if they have the rights to do it. Even if they never use/ show him as Twilight I think it could be done.) |

At this point, I think IDW should stop with Angel after the current arc ends, because it kinda isn't going anywhere, not many people are fans of it and Angel is currently flying around on Buffy right now (both title and character)

Could be time to give Angel a bit of a rest until his antics in Season 8 are done and dusted (possibly a pun). There's plenty of time in Angel's history to work with and Spike's big launch coming too.

I think IDW could make the ANgel becoming TWilight happen but as people have said certain things have to happen:
-Season eight has to play out
-Willingham would have to leave bc he's made it clear he won't cater to Joss and DH stories
-Someone else would have to come on board willing and able to write the lead up to twilight (Byrne, Tischman, maybe Brian williams )

Basically, what I hope that IDW will do is this:
After the Fall
Non-canon filler
***Arc that leads into Season Eight***
***New arc that takes place after Season Eight, assuming Angel is still around***

Hopefully Joss will take Angel in a new direction after he's done with him (if he ever is . . .)

If Joss does kill Angel off would people be Ok with "reboot"series? A lot like the DC and Marvel ones? I know if Joss kills Angel off I would love a new series set with Illyria and Connor sent to some kind of alternate world filled with Angel, Cordelia, Wesley and Fred alive, Connor as a young child, No Illyria, still only one slayer, and W&H running the world. kind of a new timeline set after season 3. Like in this time line TPTB stop Jasmine before she could finish off her plans...
Or just any type of alternate world with Angel still alive, so that they can still do a series and not just make season 8 non Canon.

This spoiler has pretty much been answered, Angel has moved back to dark horse, from there we'll see what happens
