Hi guys. I'm nearing the end of season 5 and can't wait to get my hands on the comics. The thing is, i live in the UK and can't seem to find a place online where i can buy them.
I'm sure you all know a LOT more than me about this as i've never bought a comic book in my life, so, can anybody help me out? I really want these comics. :[

your best bet is to get the 2 hard backs. play.com has them for pre-order but e-bay if you want them now the hard backs come with loads of extras at the back much better than the buffy ones. If you try and get each issue seperatly if will probably cost you more.

Also the Spike After the Fall collected is out next month and the 3rd Angel (9-12) collection is out in March so that should get you all caught up:)

The first volume is called Angel after the fall vol 1, but the volume after that could be called both "First Night" and "Angel After the fall vol 2", so don't get confused and end up buying two of the same one. And check out amazon.co.uk and ebay and see if there's a change of getting it cheap. Forbidden planet might have them as well www.forbiddenplanet.com/fp

Ahh. I never thought of checking play.com! So we're a bit late getting them compared to the US. Heh, as is always the way.
Thank you all so much for your kind help! ^_^

If you want the individual comics, I either get them from Forbidden Planet or have them shipped from the states via TFAW.com (Things from Another World). Forbidden Planet aren't very reliable for timely delivery of comics (not other merchandise) so I use TFAW more often.
If you want back issues again TFAW or Ebay are your best bet. But as the others have said you could just by the hard-backs from Amazon, Play or Forbidden Planet (who are quick to deliver everything but comics! lol)

I use TFAW, like Erica said. But I just received issue 20 two days ago, I figured they would be faster. Well... patience is a virtue. I won't go to my local comic shop ever again. I think the owner might be a pedophile.

If it's issues you're wanting then it'll work out more expensive, but they're easy to find. I buy mine on the week of release from ebay (whoever works out cheapest that week). Sure, you've got postage, but the prices are so good that it evens out (or is cheaper) than a local store/fp and I don't mind waiting a couple of days extra for them to arrive (comics come out on a Thurs here anyway). For back issues though, there are a whole heap of online UK based comic stores that can be of service to you. Buying from TFAW when you're in the UK seems absurd (plus, bag and board will be standard from most ebay/online sellers listed below, I'd be surprised if it wasn't, and from TFAW it's an extra 50 cents! Crazy). Here's a list of some UK comic stores and their Angel back issues: www.closeencounters.co.uk/department/angel_after_the_fall_b/www.legionofcomics.co.uk/acatalog/ANGEL__AFTER_THE_FALL.htmlwww.thecomicguru.co.uk/item.php?product=10817&sessionid=938747653&pagetitle=Angel%20After%20The%20Fallwww.megacitycomics.co.uk/acatalog/Angel_Comics.htmlwww.inter-comics.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_337_350_691www.reedcomics.com/comics-angel-after-fall-c-90_670_4086.htmlwww.limited-ed.com/ (search for After the Fall) That's just some, but I'm sure you'd find pretty much all you need covered there! Most of those you could probably also buy the hardbacks from - along with Amazon, Waterstones, Smiths, Borders and all the other usual online bookstores. I'd also suggest checking ebay for them too - you often find very good prices there for new books. Good Luck!

Is there a site that is faster than TFAW? I pre ordered issue 21 about a month ago and paid around ten dollars for shipping and handling and I still haven't received it yet. *is frustrated*

Where do people get the issues the day they're released? My comic shop gets it in around one month later. Pfft.

Do they only get their Angel comics late or does everything come late. I worked at a comic shop for awhile, and the true comic geeks would not be having that. I would suggest looking for another comic shop. www.comicshoplocator.com/
