When Willingham was announced by IDW at comic con last summer they said that he'd be on the Angel title for as long as he felt like writing it. Rather than Lynch who wrote one huge Arc, Willingham will write for awhile with several smaller arcs.
The first arc is meant to be only six issues but obviously as the continuing writer there won't be much change from arc to arc other than some sort of overlying theme. Like in the first arc it seems like the theme is How Team Angel handles themselves with Connor leading rather than Angel.

So no Denham for this issue ? I've grown to love his artwork very much. Messina and Casagrande are excellent as well so he shouldn't be missed too much.

Pretty good issue compared to the others but still kinda eh. Definetly nothing huge that jumped out to make people gripe like OOCness or continuity stuff. Good cliffhanger tho I hope it's a baitswitch kinda thing where Spike not having a soul is meant to scare you but then next issue its resolved. Maybe it has something to do with this whole Prophecies falling from the sky and dusting limbs thing.

WHAT? Spike not having a soul ?!!!! I knew it! Willingham would make up a bullshit like that to plead his ignorance about the character!!!! I've thought to buy the TPB, but now I'm absolutely out of these series!!! I'm waiting for Brian's Spike's series and I'm trying to forget that Willingham's crap!!!! The comics doesn't exist for me anymore!

The comics doesn't exist for me anymore! Wow, really? A writer builds a complicated story for your favorite character and, when the big moment arrives, you storm away angry? That's... I mean, okay, do what you want but aren't you the least bit interested to see how Spike deals with not having a soul? It's a huge development for his character in my opinion and I'm really looking forward to where this takes him between now and when Brian's series starts.

bare in mind if you haven't read it its hinted at not confirmed.
Since the issues out I wont put this is in spoiler tags but this is a spoiler: The woman/demon that James is in cahoots with is a soul eater and comes to Angel inc to eat Angel and spikes soul in this issue bc obv vampire souls are a rarity. On the very last page just to make us wait till the next month to see what it means The soul eater grabs Spike and says "I can taste Angel's soul from here, but you, Your as dry as they rest of your kind." implying Spike doesnt have a soul. Then in the bottom corner it says next issue "Things you thought you knew about Spike."
so thats why I said earlier i hope its a bait and switch thats answered next issue.

I haven't read the issue but I have read this thread and I am VERY angry. I don't think I need to say much more. I have been fighting for this series all along claiming it will improve, trying to stop people ducking out, but I'm beginning to think I was wrong. SPIKE HAS A SOUL! Except in AU fanfiction which is exactly what this will become to me if they don't get somebody who actually watched an episode of Buffy or Angel to start sorting out this mess. Many thanks to Mr Lynch for saving Spike from this disaster.

Okay. I'm just sharing why I think it's interesting. Spike may not be my favorite character but I do like him quite a bit. I'm simply pointing out that now, especially that Mariah and David are handling the writing going forward, there's a great opportunity for Spike's character to go someplace new that spurns him off into his own title that Brian is going to be running come October.
