In Angel and Faith, Twilight is over, Magic is gone, Giles is dead, and Angel killed him— life basically sucks for Angel as he continues on his quest for redemption like never before, with his only ally being Faith, who’s been less than angelic in her past as well.
One way to undo what he’s done is to bring back the man that may have pushed him over the redeemable line with his death, Giles. Although Faith doesn’t think it’s possible, what with the world being devoid of magic and all, but it’s not going to stop her from helping him, even if she does need a little persuading from him. These two characters have always worked well together, and in comic form it’s much of the same chemistry.
It’s good to see that Angel does remember the time he was human and got to walk in the light with Buffy, no matter how brief that time was, and even though “magic” no longer exist, doesn’t mean that the things that seem miraculous no longer do. There’s plenty of action in this latest issue, and there may just be a method to Angel’s madness after all, but Faith is hiding things, which may be the downfall of them all.
I adore the humor, and the Twilight jokes. The series isn’t as dark and somber as the Angel television series, being closer to the lighter Buffy series but it remains perfect and complimentary to the series that it sprang from, with the genius of Joss Whedon acting as executive producer. I can’t wait to see how this series progresses.
