Connor Spinoff

[rogue11]

I really despised Connor in the tv show but he seems pretty cool in the comics, I dont think you can really get back to team Angel if his son is always there, but that doesn't mean you should get rid of him. In the first issue where you saw that picutre of Connor standing with Gwen and Nina by his sides, I thought, hey what a good team they would make.
Does anybody else think it would be so cool if Connor had a spinoff series, teamed up with the electric girl Gwen and werewolf Nina! They would be like a younger, more in your face version of Angel Investigations lol
More characters can get added on later in the series
Think about how Angel started off: with Angel, Cordelia and a new guy named Doyle. Who knew this show would become such a major hit right? Maybe this trio would work.

Nah. Connor is so much a part of Angel's life, I'd rather him stay on that title. Would I read it? Of course. But just because the character is now enjoyable doesn't warrant a spin-off. If anything, his newly found awesomeness should just serve as more reason to keep him on the main Angel title and develop him more.

I had an idea for a Connor spin off that I never got around to writing. Basically Connor knows why he's in the world (stupid Jasmine arc) but what does he do. He's helped Angel, he has his memories back, he's graduated from College. Can he lead a normal life...course not who could? Knowing what you do and with everything you've seen. He tried the normal life thing but obvioulsy Connor is not normal.

The son of two vampires, raised in a hell dimension. Brought back into the world at 17/18 then set off the deep end. Trying to kill Angel, sleeping with Cordy etc... So where does he go from there? Most would say Angel but he's growing up now, who wants to spend their life liveing in their dads shadow? (If Angel had one). He wants to become his own person not just Angel's son, so he leaves LA. My guess would be New York. As stated in Time Of Your Life..."New York, the city that never sleeps. Nasty place for vampires then" Good point its an all you can eat city. Up all night.

Stories/arcs.

1) Vampires feeding off the locals...usual vampire storyline

2) Demons nesting underneath the ruins of the world trade centre.

3) Looking back at his time in Quartoth'.

4) His "real" fake family finding out about who he really is and about the memory spell. Will they still except him knowing that it's not their real son but the son a vampire?

5) This is where I had trouble, who do you align him with? Not any of the Angel characters that would be too easy and it's be the opposite of what I wanted to do. He is supposed to be finding himself, traveling around the world so don't put him with his dad's "friends" he needs his own. But who?? My only guess was Justine (she'd been to prison and was kind of redeemed by this point, well Illyria broke her out pretending to be Fred as Angel needed help but...eh the links are underneath my banner if anyone is interested in that. Long story) but yeah Justine was the only character I could think of. She could open up a lot of doors for Connor. Of course not good doors, Justine but still thats what makes for good writing. Trouble, violence, death, sex, drugs and the usual consequences. It was going to make Atvs look like the Sound Of Music. Odd picture in my head of Angel and Spike singing that opening scene, stupid mum loves that film lol. Anhoo off track.

In the end I just never got around to actually writing it. I had it all planned out but ended up writing a Faith spin off instead which is going under re-writes right now.
