Kelley Armstrong recently gave an interview with POP CULTURE ZOO about her upcoming Aftermath arc. Here's the interview: Here is also a 5-page preview of the beginning of issue #18:

So as far as characters from the show, it's focused on Angel, Connor, Gwen and Kate. I wish there were more, but limited characters could be a good thing. And those four characters are among my favorites, especially Gwen and Kate. Kind of weird that Spike and Illyria wont be around, they are easily two of the most popular and profitable Angel characters.
Art is great! Very nice change.

I like the art for the most part, but the final close up of Angel's face is really bothering me. It looks more like the standard strong jawed face of a comic book hero and not Angel. Meh.

Sorry to double post, but just wanted to also link to another interview with Kelly Armstrong, over at CBR: Also on that page are 2 of the colour preview pages the same as the above pages and 3 b&w pages - 2 of which are the ones from Ryall's blog.

Okay so, thoughts. Should Tyler buy this when it's released or wait for the TPB?

Well I buy the AFTER THE FALL issues. But I meant AFTERMATH, considering it isn't technically canon or anything.

Well, the only reason I don't really consider it canon is because Joss didn't plan it or anything (and he has nothing to do with AFTERMATH). I might try the first few issues and decide from there.

i will consider Aftermath canonical. the issues are numbered using ATF count, and Joss does approve the stories and most importantly where the storylines will be going. i wasn't that happy when i found out Brian Lynch wouldn't be writing it because i LOVED ATF, a lot more than i love S8, but i didn't know Mr Lynch when i read #1, so i think we should give Kelley Amstrong the benefit of doubt, and since she's been chosen among lots of other writer, she must have something unique that she will bring to the Angelverse. it's also reassuring to see that in most of the interwives they address Aftermath as an arc in Angel's official continuation, i mean, its very foundations are ATF's storylines, this isn't some random, out-of-chronology mini-series, it's intended to be the follow-up.
aside from that it's cool we'll get to have a new gang, with only few of the usual members appearing on Aftermath. Dez seems a cool character, much like Betta George, and since the whole Wolfram & Hart-arc has been wrapped up with ATF, Aftermath stars a new chapter in Angel's story and this mean of course new characters and possibly new villains.
So bring on Aftermath!

WAIT A MINUTE! Aftermath isnt considered canon? WTF? When did this happen? It didn't happen. Kelley said the story counts, Kelley said Joss approves. The people who are saying it's not canon are arguing that "By Joss, she means Joss's offices, which approved everything." I don't agree.

Upon researching it, it clearly is canon. Its continuing with the same continuity of After the Fall and it picked up in the same issue count. If Joss approved, its canon.

canon-schmanon. I'm guessing theres no illyria because shes going off with spike when Brian starts his new story. I'd rather see Illyria go off with spike rather than angel i guess. I just hope i really like one of the new characters. Most of the characters that we've only seen in comics in Angel haven't done much for me.
