After the events of Season 8 , I was wondering what the general attitude of the fans was to the idea of the Angel monthly from DH.
There seems to be a lot of hatred directed Angels way now, and I'm wondering if DH have shot themselves in the foot. Are fans going to be open to an Angel monthly, or have they gone a step too far and ruined the character for people?
----------------------------------------------
I am still in the process of deciding. It's no secret I am not a fan of how Angel was written at DH, and was very happy for the franchise to stay at IDW. However I do not like the idea that the last story I read (chronologically speaking - IDW's last tale comes out next April), is about Angel as Twilight. Yes I shudder to think what more damage can be done to the character.

No chance. I'm not loving the idea of anything related to Season 8, especially Buffy-accessory Angel

Well, I haven't read issue 36-39 yet but I think I can still say, yes. I haven't liked the character since Ats Season 5, but still read all comics that are published, with or without him, since I want to be updated to what everyone in the Buffy/Angelverse are doing, even in the cases I don't think I'll be enjoying the comics.

I'll be reading, but I don't think there's been any announcement of an "Angel monthly," has there? The way I understand it, Angel's story will be a limited series within the context of Buffy season 9.

I'm sure there has-there will be a Buffy monthly,Angel monthly along with Spike&Willow minis.All under the Season 9 banner. |

If Illyria is in it: Definitely.
But either way, I'm curious as to what he's going to do next. I may not like him... At all... At the moment, but I still want to see what's next.

I love the character and have all 5 seasons on DVD, but right now I'm having trouble getting excited about watching him start back over at the beginning of the redemption road after this huge setback. I'll have to hear what they have planned and then decide, but I'd need a pretty good reason to want in. I'm still interested in seeing how they wrap up the Wolfram & Hart story at IDW, though. That Angel really doesn't resemble the one in Buffy Season 8 anyway, so it's easy for me to keep them separated.
I can see why they let Angel be Twilight. They wanted the reveal to be big, and who could possibly have been bigger than Angel and had more of an impact on both Buffy and the fandom? I think it made for a powerful story. I only started reading the comics after learning Angel was Twilight. An unfortunate result, however, was that Angel was sacrificed to serve Buffy's story.
As far as what more damage can be done to the character, the only bright spot I can see is that it is unlikely they will do any further damage to him. Surely at this point the only place to go is up. After deconstructing Angel so badly, Dark Horse certainly has an interest in building him back up. But how do you bring him back from causing all those deaths and killing Giles? Gonna be a tough one.

Angel is still one of my favorite characters, so yes. I will follow him to Hell…or Dark horse.

No. I don't trust Joss(or Dark Horse)to write Angel. They've pretty much ruined the character in Season 8. It's clear to me that Joss does not understand Angel. As Gunn would say he has lost the mission.
The only way I'll read the comics is if Lynch writes any for Dark Horse.

Can Illyria kick his a$$? And Connor, Groo, Gunn, Kate? Ooooh and Nina could bite him, you know, made him some vamp-wolf thing?

It's the Buffyverse, therefore I read it. There's not much they could do to keep me away.
