Finished it a few days ago, LOVED it and I agree with you two, the whole Illyria thing did channel Dark Willow, but I felt that it was a bit more epic. Ok.. maybe that isnt the right word cuz the Willow one was epic as well, but it just felt... bigger. Does that make any sense??
And when Spike died, I swear I was saying,'' No,no,no,no,no....'' for 2 minutes straight. Thank GOD!(or should I saw Wolfram and Heart) for the timeslips!
Oh and about Spike After The Fall, is it necessary to read? I mean, I do want to read it, but it isnt one of my main priorities. And is it in HC?

It's in HC(which has extras) and it's not necessary to read to follow Angel Atf, but it explains how Illyria and Spike ended up as Lord (and it's brilliant). It also introduces a character we're seeing later in the Angel series, but you can read those issues and still get the character without reading Spike Atf. Also, it's darker than we normally read. More like Season 4 of Angel than Season 1, you know?

Yeah, I get you. Hmm, it sounds awesome. Who is this new character?

Jeremy(but Spike keeps calling him Jerry). In the issue 26, where he first appears in the Angel series, it gets explained how he got to know Spike, but here's a spoiler in case you want one: Spike starts saving people in LA, and that way gets to know Jeremy. They get to know each other a little, might be the only friend Spike made since Fred. But then another character, Non, seen in Atf and in issue 23, is sucking the life out of Jeremy so she can kill Spike. Illyria then kills Jeremy to weaken Non.
Spike gets all sad and "I'll never care again, now I'm just a warrior, bla bla, I'm channeling Angel(okay, it wasn't that bad, but the end left us going "aawww, Spike shut off another piece of his heart").

Spike: After the Fall also introduces a character we later see in #23 of Angel.
