Just some quick questions, hope someone can help me. Okay, so After the Fall finished at 17? It was a season of Angel? Or one big long arc? What are these new titles people are talking of? Is Aftermath the next season/arc or a different comic? How many will there be? What other canon Angel comics are coming out? Whats this about Illyria something? Thanks brainy people. I could search through all the threads for these answers but most the time I just get more confused!    |

After the Fall was like a mini-season (very much canon)... Aftermath is the next arc, (canon, in the most part ) Illyria will be in 3 issues of 'Fallen Angel' set around the time she lost most of her powers in season 5. (Not canon)
You should get the 'Fallen Angel' series (IDW and DC)

Thanks Thorn! Makes it a little bit easier. Is Joss not involved in Aftermath?
Fallen Angel isn't set in the Buffyverse though, is it? I thought it was not related?
I've been wanting to check it out though.
*KARMA*

Not sure about Joss' involvment with Aftermath. As far as I know, he's not. As for Fallen Angel, no, it's not part of the Buffyverse at all. It's a completely different series and the crossover involving Illyria is not related to the current stories. Not sure about the Fallen Angel side of things

Yeah, that'll be great. Gunn and Drusilla, although I'm a little more interested in Drusilla's story than Gunn's. Don't get me wrong, I seriously wanna read Gunn's story

Okay thanks guys. It sounds really good, and Brian does do very close-to-Joss canony things (ShadowPuppets = awesome) so I trust in it.
And I do very much love Dru!
*Karma for Night Lord too!*

Let's see what I can add:
4 issues in Falen Angel, not 3.
After the fall was the continuation of Season 5, worked out by Joss and Brian.
Aftermath(5 issues) and the other comics are pretty much just approved by Joss.(canon is up for discussion)
I really like Aftermath(only read one issue so far). It might actually like it more than After the fall(except the art, it can't beat After the fall) .

Different art? Why, ATF was so good!
To get into fallen angel should I start from the start and how many does that entail? I wanna read the Illyria ones but I wanna understand them too!
Is there going to be another canon Joss-involved season of Angel comics?

Going with the live action analogies, After the Fall wasn't so much a season as a feature-length episode or a movie. At least, that's how I see it... it wasn't broken up into individual story arcs or "episodes", but was simply one big story (with a couple of tie-ins like First Night and Spike: AtF).
Aftermath is just one story arc in IDW's ongoing Angel series. Unlike AtF, Joss' involvement in it is vague at best and the canonicity is definitely debatable. Also, and this is obviously subjective, but most people agree that the quality of Aftermath is far less than AtF.

Is there going to be another canon Joss-involved season of Angel comics? I haven't read the latest issues of fallen Angel, but I assume that you can read them without back story. So far the story hasn't changed that much and is pretty simple. So far we haven't heard that Joss is doing anything Angel-related. |

Thanks for all your help people!
Skytte and Paul get karma soon as my hours waits are up.
Yeah I use the term episode lightly. They're ISSUES. and yeah the story progress way differently.
