ANGEL #38Covers: (Click for larger) ANGEL #38
Written by Bill Willingham, Bill Williams, art by Elena Casagrande, cover by Jenny Frison.
Death. Destruction. Destiny. None of these can compare with the betrayal Team Angel is about to face, the old enemy that's about to re-surface, and the epic showdown Angel and Connor are going to have to tackle together. And someone other than the readers finally wonders, just what the hell is really up with Spike?

Angel on strings. Pretty sure that's how we all feel about Angel right now.

I read somewhere this will be Willingham's last Angel book. At ComicCon, IDW announced new writers for the Angel on-going starting with #39. So yeah, this is Willingham's last book.

It's really too bad the whole Willingham thing didn't work out. He's a good writer who just didn't quite click with this property. We're a loyal fanbase and have certain expectations for our beloved characters. He had his own ideas that didn't meet the fanbases expectations.

We're a loyal fanbase and have certain expectations for our beloved characters. He had his own ideas that didn't meet the fanbases expectations. His plots were pretty good, it was just his dialogue which let things down. Someone could have easily polished his scripts and made them great. That said, I'm not that sorry to see him go. As jeffymoff said, he just didn't really click with the Buffyverse and his pissy attitude towards the Twilight thing didn't win him any fans. Angel has been so mediocre since Lynch left, but supposedly Barbary Coast was pretty good so maybe the new guys will work out. I wish Byrne could write the main title.

hopefully he wraps his story up properly rather than leave in a huff and leave things sort of openended the way armstrong did.
Was the new writer announced ? or they just generally said his run was ending?

Mariah something (I always forget how to spell her last name, but she's been co-editing most of the IDW Angel books) and Scott Tipman are picking up the reins starting with #39.

This is amazing news. I cannot believe he's finally leaving. xD I never realized how much I wanted a new writer until now.
Yeah, I think starting with 39, the main title could be okay... Maybe.

Tipton is co-writing a 4 issue mini with Mariah, while David Tischman (who wrote the excellent Barbary Coast).is joining Mariah as writer of the ongoing.I think it's gonna be good:-)
Mariah posted on the IDW forum about what's coming up.

Posted about what's coming up... As in story-wise? ;D Not exactly-a few hints,but mostly how all of the titles(Angel,Spike and the Illyria mini) will be connected. Here is the link to the page she posted on-it's about half way Dow: forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=8277&start=30

I really look forward to getting past Willingham's run, and if the initial feedback to the new team of writers is positive, I think I will give the main series one last chance.
Mariah Huehner sounds like she understands the characters and the universe, so she could be able to turn things around.
Right now I'm really hoping for them to wrap the stupidity of Willinghams run at once and move on to better things, and only keep Eddie Hope and Laura Kay Weathermill around. Ohh-and possibly Willingham could end his run by killing off Dez. That what redeem him a little in my eyes...
