Thanks for posting, narflet! Added the info to the first post.

I am really excited about this. So cool that John Byrne is working on an Angel project.

Some more pages have been released from Ryall's Blog

Also launching in March is ANGEL: BLOOD AND TRENCHES, Byrne's first full-length Angel story, too. This one's set in the past as well, looking at Angel's World War I history and being presented in a very unique art style on the interiors. Covers to the first three issues are here:

The third cover is awesome. I love the vampface, it reminds me of how Angel used to look, back at Buffy, before the bumps started to disappear.

[Wyndam]

I can't wait for this mini-series to start! John Byrne is such an amazing artist. We have quite a lot of Angel goodness to look forward to in March! The Angel: After the Fall Vol. 3 HC, Spike: After the Fall HC, Angel: Aftermath will be starting or have already started by then, and now Angel: Blood and Trenches as well. So, so exciting.

[Wyndam]

Added the solicitation for the second issue, set for release in April. No cover has been released yet though.

EDIT: The information about the plot in the new solicitation was incorrect, so I deleted that.

EDIT 2: The solicitation info is now correct!

[narflet]

Sorry, I've had this for a while and forgotten to post:



(Can't say I like the colouring much on this one!)

Wesley's grand father perhaps? That sounds so cool! Too bad the name was butchered again.

Yeah, the third cover is definitely the best out of all of them. I'm at school right now so the link to the five page preview isn't working. I can't wait to see. A big bad Wyndham-Price? Sounds cool to me.
