The blue is great and I love the illusion of the two faces. Amazing likenesses too.

Betcha it bothers him too. Can you imagine how much product he uses? Probably more than Angel, that's for sure!

That's most likely deliberate. It's Angel's entire head split in half, only the left face is Spike's. The hair is supposed to be Angel's on both, to add to the illusion/double take of realizing Spike is the left face.

Or maybe that was fanfiction.

Don't hate me, but when are we going to get back to Angel? Spike is getting his own 'Show' now but he is still popping up in the 'ANGEL' comics? I thought #17 was going to be the last we saw of him until 'SPIKE'. Will Angel be popping up in any Spike storyline? Is this the last we see of Brian Lynch in the Angel comics so will it deal with the departure of Spike from the 'ANGEL' series?

I really hope this storyline creates some REAL conflict between the two.

Angel and Spike are more clearly defined and the hair looks better with its normal brown color.

Mooney posted some cool info today about these two issues and his process for the #27 cover (which originally included Groo!) on his BLOG.

Here is what he said about #27:

The first version of 27 is the one that everybody's seen already, but the second is new. It shows our boy Groo(who features pretty heavily in this storyline, with his funniest dialogue yet) seperating the two sides of the Spangel head.
Chris and Brian quite liked the Groo version, but felt that it may be a tad mis-representational in the grand scheme of things. I agreed, and also felt the image was just more immediate without The Groosalugg in there muddying up the concept.

I think the lads were right to pick the simpler version, and so my mission to get Groo onto one of my covers goes on!

And here is the art he posted:

Pretty cool! I wouldn't mind if the cover had Groo on it or not, but both look great either way.
