Heh... I usually let you win. Or usually I'm damn lazy and I just post the link somewhere so that someone can start it instead. Surprised that there was no cover for this one. Also, does anyone know if IDW ever does a consistent release to CBR? Since they usually have the nice hi-res covers.

Wow, this is still going. The sound of a Big Bad sounds intruiging, but right now, I kinda don't really have much interest in the Angel series

Finally some kind of overarching story. This should be a nice change from what we've been getting.

Bad writing and terrible characterisation? Including talking, floating demonic libraries?

How is a floating, talking demonic library any more out there than lots of stuff in the Buffyverse?
Still not seeing the bad writing & characterization. I think this latest arc has been one of the best in the Angel comics, I'm liking it lots......except Connor,any strides he made in ATF have gone right out the window lately. (But then, never liked him much anyway)

I definitely see the bad characterization, though... I'm perplexed at those who are complaining about the talking, floating demonic library. I thought it was funny. I mean, talking hamburger? Loan Shark? Betta George? C'mon, guys. We're used to this. The funkiness is part of the attraction.

I'm okay with floating library - it's like Wesley's books at W&H, only this one can talk. Kinda funny.

^ Those were funny. The demonic library isn't. It's kinda like 'oh how convenient"

Surprised at the lack of covery goodness, perhaps it is too spoilery? "New Big Bad"? Eddie, Spike, Angel . . .?

Wow, new Big Bad, kinda hot. It's peaked my interest a little and I wonder who she is and what her story is ^ Those were funny. The demonic library isn't. It's kinda like 'oh how convenient" Well so was Wes's library. He had the entire archives of W&H at his disposal - he could literally just reach for a book, whisper what he wanted, and BAM. Well, that was convenient in a good way. The books didn't talk back like 'someone made quite a mess out here, Miss Weathermill' Also, how would Illyria know what it is. She's hasn't been around for a few millenniums and I don't think they were around then

What happened to the cover? The Newsarama article didn't have the cover art, but it showed up on Comics Continuum later on. Here it is (click for larger): I still say it looks like Courtney Love.

Is there a version of this cover without the Angel logo on it?
