Just announced today at San Diego Comic-Con International! Joss will be giving us the sixth season of Angel in the form of a new monthly comic book! IDW Publisher and Editor in Chief Chris Ryall hosted IDW Publishing’s panel Friday after noon at the San Diego Comic-Con, introduced/announced a load of new projects coming from the publisher. Ryall then introduced Angel: After the Fall, the upcoming 12-part + series that will pick up the Angel franchise following the cliffhanger at the end of Season 5. Angel creator Joss Whedon was named as the “Watcher” on the series, which will be written by Lynch, and illustrated by Franco Urru, with covers by Tony Harris.
The series will start in November, and will, Ryall said, “tell the story that people have wanted to read since we started with the Angel and Spike comics.”
Ryall said that IDW had approached Whedon about doing the series earlier, but the creator was reluctant to do it until he read Lynch’s Spike one shot, which got him thinking that he could do the series with Lynch, as he liked Lynch’s sensibilities on the characters.
The 12 issues of the run will be broken into arcs, separated by a month, with a special filling in each month that a regular series issue isn’t being released. The first special will be called First Night and will feature several stories looking at other characters in the mythos who will not be playing larger roles in the main story.
Lynch: “The cast was about to fight a fight that they were going to lose, and this series deals with the fallout of that; Angel knew going in that he was going to lose, and this is the fallout of him taking a stand against a force that he couldn’t beat”*credit Newsarama

I am sorry to have to start with a negative but to be honest with you guys, this cover is not really grabbing me... It doesn't show how the story has evolved like that of the buffy season 8 covers...The art is great, don't get me wrong, but I don't like the image of Angel, which was taken from a buffy season 2 promo, am I right?

I'm so happy that there is going to be more canon Angel, but I do hope that this keeps separate from BTVS S8... I just want Buffy to go a season where she has know male love influence going on...Personally I think she's better of without the vamps and that she is stronger whilst single.

I couldn't care a less about the Buffy comic, which I feel is just as well cause I would have hated the plots so far if I cared; but as a huge angel fan I'm both pleased and terrified about this comic. I hope they dont fuck it up.

I hope that this does well, I am anxious to see exactly what will happen to Angel and his team. I hope that the art work is done really well, as I am liking this cover.

No Willow = No buy. Sorry. If there are crossover episodes, I'll buy them. But other than that, I'm not interested. Oh and as for the cover, I automatically thought it was a bad Photoshop job. Yikes. I don't think they could do crossovers, season 8 of Buffy takes place during season 5 of Angel.

Also, Joss mentioned at Comic Con, that the battle at the end of season 5 didn't end very well... I see this new Angel series as what could be a movie... Buffy gets a new television series (or two as of season 9!!!) and Angel gets a movie... To be honest I think Angel is better suited to a movie as Buffy is a story that needs to be told over time...(well in my eyes anyway.) And Henz, I know that your entitled to your own opinion but that's a bit harsh saying that about Buffy, I mean without Buffy, there'd be no Angel...

I don't think so. Something about the "Benny", "Boi" and the fact that he has "Male" in his profile kinda makes me believe he is a guy. lol And how exciting, more Angel. Hey maybe Fred will come back!

No, I'm a guy lol!!! Yeah I can't wait to see Illyria tho... I love the character and there is much exploration needed. Also, I think that this series should be published in a massive 400+ page TPB at the end of the run...
