Angel: After the Fall, Volume 3 by Brian Lynch
4.0
The best of the Angel: After the Fall series! One of the greatest losses in the fifth season of Angel was the death of Fred. It seemed she was lost for good, but this volume offers a ray of hope. Fred isn't the only familiar face from the show to reappear. You won't get any spoilers out of me, but trust me. It's good!
Part two (issue #9) opens with a dream sequence that is right out of the old Adam West Batman series complete with Spike as the masked avenger and Connor as his boy wonder. Comic book Connor is growing on me. He was my least favorite character on the show, but in the comics he is considerably less whiny. Oh, and he's dating someone is his own age! Huge step up, Connor. Huge.
This volume is also the first of the After the Fall series illustrated by Nick Runge. I liked Frank Urru's work in the previous volumes, but I prefer Runge's style. The characters look authentic and the covers are simply beautiful.
Thematically, the lines between good and evil are becoming blurry in this volume leaving many characters questioning where they stand. Brian Lynch's narration and dialogue continue to amaze me. He writes the characters as well as Whedon himself and has a knack for making me laugh out loud with his witty dialogue.
I highly recommend this to fans of the show or to anyone looking for a good apocalyptic read.
