Not where I had expected the storyline to go... In a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles which has been sucked into hell, the cast of Angel are still fighting the good fight... kind of. Really interesting continuation of the show, though I wish that Whedon et al had decided to go with traditional novels instead of graphic novels. It's great of see everything visually but it's such a character driven storyline that I think it might have been stronger with just words. ( )

The art is beautiful, of course. It's well written. I just...I don't like where the story went. I don't like that everything about everyone has suddenly changed. Opening the portal to Hell in L.A., yeah it was bound to cause some issues. But if Season 6 would have happened, I know this is not how it would have went down (special effects budget notwithstanding). I can't connect to them. This isn't them. It's like metaverse Angel. ( )

Being a huge fan of Angel, this comic opens up in what appears to be the middle of a battle which leaves the reader confused as it is said to pick up where the series left off. The comic keeps this confusing tone through it’s pages by switching between several locations and some characters. The character aspect leaves the reader not knowing whom some are or what is going on. All in all, After the Fall presents the reader with confusion, nostalgia, and wanting more. ( )

The artwork's not very good; just telling what's going on is difficult at times. And the dialog, while perfectly serviceable, never has the little moments of cleverness that I expect from the Buffyverse. But the story, "plotted" by Whedon, had me pretty excited throughout the book. I found the TV show to be more frustrating than anything, but apparently I ended up caring about these characters anyway. (Well, most of them - Angel himself is so damn boring.) Just finding out what's happened to them is enough to make this book worthwhile. And they really do not hold back when it comes to big things happening - no time for sulking and moping for Angel, here. ( )
