Angel #0 by Joss Whedon, Bryan Edward Hill, Gleb Melnikov

3.0

It was a nice surprise to see Angel #0 included amongst the comic books I picked up last week. The good folks at Green Brain Comics thought I might like it since I read Buffy the Vampire Slayer so they included with my regular purchases. They were right.

I am currently (slowly) making my way through both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series. I like Buffy much more than I like Angel, but Angel does have a distinctive flavor that I do enjoy. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate Angel into the wider Buffy world. Clearly, he's already had his moment of moving to Los Angles and fighting crime. How did he get there without Buffy? Will there be any future Angel/Buffy romance? What is his role now in the Buffyverse?

Angel #0 spent most of its time setting up Angel's origin story, but I have almost more questions than answers. Who is the girl Angel was training? What about the other woman who is some kind of physic? I guess we do need a new Angel series because I do want more of this story.

Recommended for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel!
