What's this issue gonna be about?? By the cover and other things I have read it will have something to do with Spike and what he has been up to since we last saw him. Plus I am sure we will see some Angel action too. |

Out tomorrow! Preview: forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=140077DEEMBER 19th: Did anybody else pick this up today? It really seems like things are picking up, I enjoyed it a lot more then I did the first issue. I'm really digging Gunn's story, he still thinks of himself as the good guy and he hates being a vampire, it's very interesting and I'm looking forward to more. I enjoyed the Angel/Connor dynamic in this issue. I also REALLY loved how Gwen played a bigger part this issue, I absolutely love her character. Not much Wes, he only appeared on the first page. And how amazing was Spike? He was such a bastard and I loved it, it was great to finally see him... and Illyria, who still thinks Spike is her pet. Can't wait till next month! It's also been pretty much confirmed that Los Angeles is IN hell, unless I misunderstood something. The art is more or less the same. I do think some of the likenesses have improved a bit, except Nina. I don't hate the art but I don't love it either, but it's growing on me. And how cool was it to see your name Erin?! |

i liked this one a lot better too! And spike! YAYAYAYAYAY! i love that he and illyria have been hangin together this whole time (so it seems). I wonder why spike is in "heaven" and angel in "hell" yet their paths cross...maybe I missed something...or maybe we dont know yet.....

That text is nonesense, Brian said only 2 or 3 people know the Dragon's name. Also Spike and Angel are both in LA Hell-dimension, Spike just made up a story while he talks to his girls in his self-made paradise.

And how cool was it to see your name Erin?! I'm so excited to see it! I want to pick up every cover, just so I can say...yep...I'm in every cover. LOL. I didn't get a chance yesterday, though I might go today! I hope my copy is at home from the BCC when I go back to Kentucky tomorrow! |

I just re-read both issues back to back, and in the first issue Wesley says, "Believe-you-me" and Betta George says it in the second issue. Is this some kind of saying? Cause I've never heard it before, or could it be part of the story?
And I also got say how much I loved the "Hellywood" sign.

I have 3 different copies - pencil and colour Spike in the Harem and colour Spike in the flames (looking sooo bad) and your name is in every one. Erin - where in Kentucky do you live (generally, not an address)? When we lived near Toronto, Ontario we went on a drving holiday and stayed in State Campgrounds - they were wonderful. It is a beautiful state.  |

I went to my comic shop to pick this up today and he said that his whole stock of them came damaged! Not one of them was in any condition to sell. He said the box was destroyed and had foot prints all over it. He said he would have replacements in next Friday.
Damn UPS people! You would think that they would care about the contents of the packages they deliver. What horrible customer service.

It is a beautiful state. I'm actually working on my Master's in West Virginia right now but I was born and raised in Maysville, KY, right on the Ohio River. I've also lived in Frankfort, Berea, Morehead, and Georgetown....and randomly, Orlando, FL. LOL. My comic guy had a mistake happen, and they only sent him 3 copies, so I to go to the expensive comic shop (that makes you pay $$$$ for variant covers, and doesn't give discounts) so that I could see it! I wanted to get them all, just because my name was in them!!! LOL. Albeit...small text but there's my name!! Yay! |

Okay Spike is the LORD of Beverly Hills?! But, who's in charge Spike or Illyria? And, Gun's bassically saying the same thing Spike said "The Soul doesn't matter". But, I'm a little put off by the him hating Angel thing. Also, why did he kidnapp Betta Goerge?
Is the Blood spike is drinking, human blood? And, why doesn't Angel want Wes to come with him? And why is Wes STILL wearing Buffy Season 3 clothing? :scared:

I am so happy to have Spike back! First of all this one was pretty much amazing. Glorious, joyous, anything that ends with -ous. The first issue seemed a little slow to me, but this one really has me hooked. I'm really happy, this same thing happened with Season 8...took a couple issues to really get used/into it.  So kudos to BL, cannot stand waiting another month for the next installment. But unil then, let's play Speculation 101...what do we anticipate happening next yo?! |

Spike coming out of retirment to help Angel.
Gunn taking a fight to Angel and losing horribly, forcing someone to stake him.
Wesley trying to secretly, behind Angel's back to become corporeal again or to get out of W&H's clause.
Illyria becoming more and more like Fred, in memory of Wesley. Maybe, she doesn't know that he's back.

Hmm speculation....
There is a mega big surprise at the end of the next issue. I'm hoping it will reveal who is in The White Room. I'm hoping Lilah, only because she's my favorite character, and who wouldn't want to see her back? I really hope Illyria doesn't kill the dragon, he is way too cool to kill. I also want Harmony and Lorne somewhere down the road, I'd to see how Lorne changed after killing Lindsey.

i so hope your right hitandrun017. I love lilah and wished she became the go between angel and the senior partners and not Eve.
However I think Fred will come back because of the memory spell cyris vale cast it hid apart of fred's memories and self from illyria so I think Fred will start comming through.
Hell works on a different time zone than earth so if they do make it back they will of only been missining a few hours, not months.
I love Gunn now, his character was bland but now he has a good storyline not just the cool black guy who hangs around in angels shadow. I love beta george I hope we see more of him and can't wait for #3.
oh an woohoo my fist post
