Cool. I hope it's another Angelus-story.

[Hellbound Hyperion]

Definitely looks like another Angelus story.

[Skytteflickan88]

Hopefully Darla, Spike and Drusilla makes an apperance. Specially Drusilla, since we never really got to see them interact in the flashbacks (at least not vampire Dru).

[Wyndam]

Very interesting! I love the art and I agree that it definitely looks like an Angelus project.

[patxshand]

I'm sure it's Angelus. I mean, that is him on the cover! Urru's art has never been better, but I feel like he steps it up with every single image he makes, so I'm not sure how much weight that carries! He's insanely good.

[jellymoff]

The jpeg file is named "Angel_BC#1". I wonder if "BC" means something?

"Before Cordelia?"
"Badass Cover?"
"Boston Carnage?" (It looks like he could be there, maybe?)

[Wyndam]

B cover, maybe? Byrne cover?

Well if you want to be all sensible about it...

[monkeypie]

I just spent a good ten minutes trying to think what past Angel character The palindrome is back was a subtle and clever reference to, feeling smug that noone else seemed to have picked up on it...
Then i realised it meant Urru and felt like a right idiot.

Heh Heh....I made the same mistake. So out of curiousity who did you come up with?

The only one I can think of is Eve

[Hallow Thorn]

It looks really cool and for some time I have been sticking around for a sense of loyalty in hope of an epic tale like After the fall. But I still don't think this is want I have been waiting for, I really hope that Darla is in it.

[angeliclestat]

They can't all be epic stories Thorn:) Remember even the show had standalone eps. The issues since 22 have all been standalones, but from 28 onwards we are back to an arc.

I suppose the month waits between comics make it seem longer...but when you look at the beginning of season 3 we had 6 episodes of standalones followed by 4 eps of arc, followed by 4 eps of standalones followed by 3 eps of arc followed 2 eps of standalones, followed by the last 3 eps of arc.

Does that all add up?

[neowhobaz]

John byrne did confirm two Angel Projects in 2010. Maybe Urru's doing the first one.

[Wyndam]

Chris Ryall posted some new tidbits about the upcoming Franco Urru (and possibly John Byrne) Angelus project on his BLOG:

This first cover we have already seen, but the image tag gave us the title of the project: ANGEL: BARBARY COAST.



And Urru continues to prove he's one of the best with the first preview page:

[hitnrun017]

That spread is absolutely stunning.

[henzINNIT]

Looks great, a bit like the Angel arriving at the US flashes in "Orpheus".

[angeliclestat]

That looks magnificent. Am dying to find out more about this!
