Very cool that the actress has been so involved in this. I guess she really loves this character.

Ok well I stopped reading Aftermath after the first issue. I do, however, plan on buying the Hardcover for it. Do you guys think I need to read it before I start back up the the Dru arc?
Another question: Is this issue released the same day as the new Buffy?

Another question: Is this issue released the same day as the new Buffy? Every indication about upcoming issues, whether from Brian, solicits or Comic-Con coverage indicates that Aftermath will not need to be read in order to understand anything post issue #22. Kate will make an appearance in Boys With Their Toys, but I highly doubt she will be referencing anything from Aftermath. The only connection we have seen between Aftermath and post- Aftermath was Brian explaining in #23 how Gunn and Illyria end up driving off together in #18. And yep! It comes out next Wednesday, same day as Buffy #27.

Pretty much. Sadly, I am a glutton for punishment as I have already pre-ordered the Aftermath HC. I do love to support this series though, even if it has an unfortunate bad arc. I really liked the covers though, and I am a completionist, so I will just use that to justify my purchase.

I checked with IDW at Comic-Con. AFTERMATH has a "5" on the spine.

I'm sure I'll get it sometime when I start buying the HCs, even if it is just so the collection wouldn't look nasty displayed.

I asked if Spike could be putting a sign with a "5" in front of the "6" on my next volume, but alas, they said no.

Gotta take the good with the bad and i'm with Wyn about being a completionist. Even if I never read it again there are a bunch of really good covers (All of which I have) and theres no sense tossing em out just cuz whats inside them aren't great. In fact if the art on the outside matched the inside the arc might be redeemed slightly...slightly.

Confirmed on Ryall's BLOG: Angel #24 is out on Wednesday, August 5. Same day as Buffy again. That's convenient. I wonder if IDW is now deliberately synching their Angel releases with the Buffy ones, to reel in some of those fans who only go to the comic store to get Buffy comics. It would make sense.

I promise you they're not. It's all printer related. Maybe it's some kinda crazy karmic convergence.

The three comic series I am currently buying single issues for (Buffy, Angel and Star Wars: Invasion) are all currently shipping the first Wednesday of every month. That's so awesome.

It would be a good idea though. I've had a trademark change of heart and I'm now totally buying this, so it's cool I can order the same time as I order Buffy #27. The question is now though, which cover do I go for? Thats okay, Ill put Spike AtF it Aftermath's spot. That sounds like a grand idea! I may have to do that myself! I may do too if the 6th HC is too cool to resist.

This issue was incredible! Without a doubt one of the best Angel issues yet. It was a very quick read because a lot of it relies on the art to tell the story, which was creepy and beautiful. It's just so great to see Drusilla again and this was some of her best stuff yet, I could hear her crazy voice everytime she spoke. The story is interesting, very excited to find out more about the institution and why they want Drusilla there.
Holy crap the art. I think this is Urru's best work yet and the colors of Fabio and Paolo just make it even better. Every panel is beautiful and he captured Juliet and Drusilla perfectly: her flowy dress, her creepy smiles, the dance-like walk... it was all perfect. Sort of felt like I was watching a movie or something.
Man, I wish this would be longer than two issues. Highly anticipating the next issue already. A big kudos to Juliet and Brian for making this. And the photoshoot at the end is gorgeous.
