I'm just the writer, I can't control what happens to the genius once it's unleashed!

Amazing preview! Fabio/Franco are back with a vengeance. The coloring looks simply stunning. I can't wait to have this issue in my hands. First two panels of Angel holding Connor...damn. I thought the end of #15 was sad enough, but those panels were just heartbreaking. I also really enjoyed Angel's followup reaction, when the W&H dragon-jetfighter-lackey spilled the beans on what W&H was capable of. If there is any way that Angel can end After the Fall as a vamp, this is definitely the way it will happen. Angel will force W&H's hand and they will pluck vamp Angel out of his timeline. That of course, leads to thoughts of a reset in the works. I will say that I have 100% faith in Brian and am on-board for whatever he throws our way. I don't think just a simple reset is in order, I think there will be some stipulations (I really have a strong feeling Gunn will still be a vamp when all is said and done). It does sound like though, that Wesley won't be around regardless of what happens, which does suck, but again, I am on-board (and am hoping he will find a way to stick around). Wes and Angel's final goodybye's were amazing, even better than the head nod we got from Wes in Not Fade Away. It is Wes and Angel after all, and believe it or not, they are two of the closest friends in the Buffyverse, Connor snatching and all. So this scene was bittersweet and damn near perfect. Is it sad that it only takes a panel and a few words at this point to make me tear up? I swear a few months ago it at least took a few pages. Can't wait to get my hands on this issue.

The preview was awesome! The Angel and Connor pages were so touching! Wes, oh poor Wes. Will this guy ever get a happy ending?! But they have a plan and that is good. I am right there with you Wyndam, I don't want a reset in events unless there are also some irreversible issues to go along with it! I really trust Brian on this so I am not really worried. I just wonder what Angel has planed for Gunn? It can't be good, or at least I hope not! I am just really sad to see "ATF" ending! Here is to "Aftermath" being as good, cause it can't get better than this!

I say we hire Tucker to send Ms. Kelley Armstrong a "gift". Who's with me? And by "gift" I mean a pack of bloodthirsty Hellounds.

Agreed. Lost premiere and Angel #16 (and the Angel Cover Gallery and Locke & Key: Head Games #1) all in one day is almost TOO exciting.

If anyone dies it better be Gunn and Nina. Holla!
I still haven't gotten over what he did to Fred. Or his villainous role in After The Fall. And Nina, wel... do I need to explain? lol. She was good as a fling but thats all.

She was good as a fling but thats all. Are you kidding? I like Nina. Lol. Not only is she the only female left in the group, but she seems to really be loyal to Angel. I dunno I just...like her. I can't explain. My favorite thing she has ever said was that thing to Angel in issue 10. She talks about 'the only reason she helped Connor, was to help Angel'. That line was what really made me like her. I just hope she lives :heartsatsu:

Besides, I don't want a character who's all up in Angel's kool aide, mixin' up all the flavors.

I've been waiting for this issue for soooooo long. To write it, to see the art for it, to read your reactions to it. This is the issue I will re-read a lot, years from now, when I want to read something I had a hand in. Issue 17 is great too, I'm proud of it and Franco did some wonderful, wonderful art.
Issue 16 is the conclusion to the adventure, to the storyline, the dramatic climax. Issue 17 is the character resolution, the quiet epilogue (as quiet as ANGEL can get, anyway, which is to say, it's still got demons, high stakes, and fisticuffs) and sets the stage for some things to come.
I honestly cannot wait for 16 to be in everyone's hands. I'm glad we have two more issues to share with each other.

I can't wait to see Angel unleash his fury on those that oppose him. Do you think Angelus cares about Connor and his death? I mean... its his kid for crying out loud. He produced life! But on the otherhand... he's a demon without a conscious.
