I love your idea about the time difference between hell and Earth, but I'm hoping that maybe it's only a couple seconds Earth time so the general public don't remember a thing. I think it would a great bittersweet ending. Gunn's alive, Wesley would be released from his duty and everyone would go home happy, well not really, but I think it would be a great ending.

I have avoided reading anything after the release date of Angel:ATF 2. (avoiding any spoilers) Unfortunatly the comic book store i usually go to sold out in under an hour and a half... !?!?! Crazy i know. Anyways, i'll be starting the hunt for any other comic book stores around here to see if there's any chance i can get my hands on a issue. Who knows.
Merry X-mas everyone.

This issue was great! It reminded me a lot of the time in Season 2 when Angel went "dark". Everyone seems to be mad at him now just like they were then. Getting to see more of what Gunn is up to was great. It so far looks like he still has the brain upgrades which makes him on par with Angelus.I think by the way Team Gunn wrote in in primordial sanskrit? Is it to frame Illyria? I dhoffryn I think you are on to something with Fred coming back. She may not be full Fred but her characteristics started to show as Season 5 closed and I think that may keep happening. It is nice to see Spike and Babe the Blue Ox working together. The one thing that has me the most puzzled is what Gunn is doing with all those demon parts. Is he going to somehow use The Eye of Ramras to power them up?

Still haven't gotten mine! From BCC, or a comic store? It's a pretty good issue. I also feel as though the storyline will pick up after a few more issues. Right now they're just putting us back on track with that has happened with everyone since the alley scene in "Not Fade Away." I was glad to see Illyria at the end of this issue. And that she and Spike seem to be a little clique of their own. Angel must be feeling kind of alone in all of this, with the exception of Connor & his crew. Who knows what will happen with Wes, being that he's representing W&H in LA...

Has anyone got the TST exclusive cover yet? It's the only one I'm missing, but I can't find it.

Hmm speculation.... There is a mega big surprise at the end of the next issue. I'm hoping it will reveal who is in The White Room. I'm hoping Lilah, only because she's my favorite character, and who wouldn't want to see her back? Hmm, I think Lilah is played out in Joss' eyes to be honest. She especially doesn't really fit the white room profile. She's not my fav character but it would be interesting to see her again. Cordy was a powerful demon before she died, maybe it wouldn't be a stretch for her to be the new conduit. Lorne signed a contract like Wes did, maybe he's the new white room guy lol.

I F-I-N-A-L-L-Y got my issue today. It was pretty decent, but I still prefer Buffy. It seems a little weird to me... I don't have any idea what's going on half the time. I guess that's the way Buffy started, but Angel is a lot more out there.
I love Gunn, though. He is yet another new take on vampires, one who is evil but tries to fight it and thinks he's a good guy. I'd love to see him sing Gillbert and Sulivan.

This was a good issue but I didn't like it as much as the first one. I hate the way they portrayed Spike or maybe I just didn't like the fact that they had to stick a bunch of floozy demon chicks around him.

There was nothing there that I can't easily see Spike doing. Still, it was a little much. Not terribly necessary, as far as I see.

It's tough to get people to take comics seriously when no one ever wears pants. And as for Spike and Buffy, he loves her, but that didn't stop him from sexing up Harmony at the earliest possible oppurtunity.

Very very true about the Spike and Harmony thing, lets just hope the comic doesn't turn into some sexed up version of Angel with all the "sexy" demons.

don't forget that spike has taken up residence at the playboy mansion.
i think bikini clad demons are appropriate.
especially for spike.
lol

I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY got this issue today along with Anywhere But Here. Grrrrrrrreat issue! Spike is the lord of Beverly Hills. How COOL! All those women...lucky Spike. Illyria's back YAY! Gunn and George the fish lol. Gunn seems upset that he's a vampire. Reminds me of "Why We Fight". Angel's cars cool. Nina seems really angry because of the sun/moon out at the same time thing. Gwen's electric powers are getting stronger and stronger and I love it. Connor doesn't seem too angry at Angel which is good. All these demons are really cool-looking. Fantastic issue! And I only have to wait 2 weeks for the next issue!

I LOVED Gwen in this issue! I'm a little iffy about the Spike/Illyria relationship. I dont mean sexual relationship, cause I dont see that happening. I know he liked hurting him in Season Five, but I'm just not sure. I'm not liking Spike at all right now. Gunn's plot is VERY interesting. Eager for more. I like the art except for Nina. Quite a larger bosom than the last time we saw her in Season Five. And her face has nothing that resembles any kind of potential likeness to the actress. IS BETTA GEORE DEAD?!?! And who were the guys outside Gunn's door? So kudos to BL, cannot stand waiting another month for the next installment. But unil then, let's play Speculation 101...what do we anticipate happening next yo?! Angel killing Spike. But not before Illyria drags Spike around to help her reak more hatred on the world. Werewolf-Nina is killed by Illyria or Gunn. Gunn tries tricking Angel into really trusting him which as we saw in Issue 1 isnt going to happen. beta George will live through the entire thing. Gwen will get a boyfriend, that she'll never see again!
