Angel: After The Fall - Issue 17

[patxshand]

Why do we think Wolfram & Hart has been defeated?

[Joe]

Animated Reenactment!

[Hallow Thorn]

I love it Joe, I really need to see the rest!... I love that you said her name and not 'she'.

[Whedon Fan]

Loved it well done Joe! Will you be doing the same with Aftermath aswell?

Kozlow is the little demon from After the Fall #2 who claims he is the new Lord of Westwood before he gets pwned by the many other demons who are gunning for the title.

I thought that dude was killed, and wasn't he in Spike: Asylum too?

[patxshand]

Yeah, he was killed. Which is what I meant when I said he was pwned by many other demons. What does his death have to do with anything, though? Every death in Hell was negated.

Angel 17

The Good;
Great cover (by which I mean the one set out like a gossip magazine), a nice ending to the apocalypse saga. Love the sign advertising Silverlake.

The Bad;
Aww, I'd love to have seen the bit where Spike dumps Spider, I liked her a lot, my favourite of his harem

Best line;
Groo; Now I have 2 Cordy's (the first time he refers to her like that?)

Wheldon Cliches;

Character death;
Everyone alive again but byebye loan shark, I guess the other demons remembered his betrayal. So long Wes, Fred and Cordy, possibly for good.

Shot;

Tied up;

Knocked out;

Women good/men bad;
I'm not exactly sure the queen of SDH would appreciate having a horse and a dragon being named after her?

Kinky dinky;

Calling Captain Subtext;

Guantanamo Bay;
Illyria sure has a novel way of stopping the mob

Questions and observations
So, no more WR&H? I can't believe they're gone for good, must be more to them sometime. In truth whilst I'm sure that it was nice for Joss and co to be able to play out
their imaginations without the limits of the special effects budget I'll be glad to get back to Angel business as unusual. Also now that LA is back to normal we'll maybe have some scope for crossovers with Buffy.
The records girl who tries to chat up Angel reminds me of that newsreader, Kate Garraway? Angel refers to Mutt and Jeff, an old cartoon duo (but obviously one he and Spike would be old enough to remember)

3/5, interesting but not brilliant

[patxshand]

I just re-read this issue again today, and damn if it isn't the best Buffyverse comic I've ever read. Cool action, perfect wrap-up, and unrivaled emotional payoff. Just a perfectly told story. And Franco's art and Fabio's coloring are amazing.
