Product Description: First Night begins! What happened on the very night Los Angeles went straight to hell, the incident that ended the Angel television series with such a shocking cliffhanger? Why did the team go their separate ways? And how did Connor rise up to become one of Hell's greatest champions?
Fleashing out the end of the world As we all know by now, Angel's world may have come to an end, but his story didn't. The second collected volume of IDW's Angel: After the Fall details just how and why the group ended up splitting apart upon Los Angeles going to Hell, as well as details just what happened to them all leading up to the first storyarc. Here, we see just how Wesley came back from the dead, how Connor became such a fierce warrior, and learn more of what lead characters like Gunn, Gwen, Spike, Lorne, Kate, and even a story involving some of LA's civilians. Co-plotters Brian Lynch and Angel creator Joss Whedon manage to flesh things out enough (Wesley's story in particular is the best of the bunch), while the biggest flaw of First Night ends up being the artwork. The legendary John Byrne is on board and does quite well illustrating Lorne's tale, while David Messina and Nick Runge do okay, but the rest of the artwork featured here is largely inconsistent and sub-standard compared to the previously mentioned. That aside though, Angel: After the Fall: First Night does a solid enough job bringing things up to speed, and in that respect alone, if you're a Buffy/Angel fan in the least, Angel: After the Fall is something that is definitely worth your time. It may not have the spark that Dark Horse's Buffy: Season 8 has, but it comes pretty close nonetheless.
The Night where it all began... This volume covers what happened on the night that LA went to hell, basically it serves as a prequel to volume 1 so the story doesnt advance anymore, but it does show what happened to each of the major characters.
Story was excellent and the artwork was very nice in some stories, particularly's Spike and Wesley's.
All in all a good read and well worth it.
Pretty Good During the first half of volume one, I was not happy. I didn't like the direction the story was going, it was too abrupt a change (to me) from what was going on in the final season of the TV series. But, by the time I finished I was happier with it and very much into the story line. I'm picking up Volume Two tonight and I'm looking forward to finding out more.
I like the style of the art. The paper is nice. And it's always nice to have a hardcover with the built-in book mark! Very well made.
Loved the 1st.. 2nd was a little slow I've been a big fan of the "Angel" series before it had even been born. Watching the pilot of "Buffy" really got me excited to see if the network would let the show grow and continue.
Of course, they did and "Angel" eventually came of it. When I heard it was cancelled, I was very disappointed but then came the comics.
I will admit I've never been into comics before and prefer to buy this hardbound series than to buy individual books.
The Volume 1 got me excited again about our heroes and what had become of them. Volume 2 seemed a little bit of filler and did not speak much about Angel himself.
I would still recommend collecting it and reading it just to be on par with the next volume (which I hope is coming soon)
awsome ! im so happy i finaly got the answer i needed these books are just as good as the tv show !!
