A new chapter for Angel and Faith. The backdrop...London! A lot has happened between these two characters and I’m glad to see how close they are. Even when Angel has this crazy idea; (view spoiler)[bringing Giles back from the dead (hide spoiler)]. I appreciate how much Faith has grown as a character. Despite the message Harmony has in the last issue of this collection, Faith’s past informs her person today. It was great to see a maturity in her, especially as she is seen as a leader by the Slay...
Being in a post season eight funk, I approached this book with some trepidation. Angel coming to terms with his actions? Great. Whatever.And then Faith told Angel: "Y'know what? Your whole Twilight phase makes about as much sense as a David Lynch movie"THAT'S MY GIRL.God I love Faith and I love her so much in this book. She's written and drawn so well. She's always been one of those characters that said more in her body language than she'd ever say out loud. Isaacs catches her dynamism perfectly...
I'll let this review stand for the series, not just this first volume. I'm not a rabid Buffy fan. I don't just categorically worship at the altar of Whedon. But I have seen every ep of Buffy and Angel and I do really love *some* of them and some of the characters. Faith is far and away my favorite, so I was very excited to find out about her future.... And then I was disappointed to find out that she's basically willing to follow Angel around and help him and serve him forever. I like their loya...
Angel has never been one of my favorite characters. I loved him in his own show, but any time he teams up with Buffy I feel like he gets shoved into the "Buffy's emotional baggage" box and loses what makes him interesting.The combination of him and Faith on the other hand is one I genuinely love. They share darkness, guilt, and a desire for redemption they don't think they deserve.I'm excited to see what this series has to offer!
Found these shelved with graphics and decided to read now. While I liked this story, I felt Faith could have been more proactive.
Read for Book Roast's Magical Readathon: NEWTs Exams. Subject: Care of Magical Creatures, E Level. (Less than 160 pages)Okay, you know what, maybe humans are hard to draw. Sure, Eliza Dushku is the most beautiful woman anywhere in the entire gorram galaxy, but maybe your pencil slipped. A lot.And you know, Mercedes McNab has cheekbones for days and was even in Playboy so you definitely know the shape of her human personage, but drawing her could be intensely difficult because you lost your glass...
3 and a half starsI love Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I'm totally convinced it's one of the best t.v shows ever. I have not read any other Buffy-related Graphic Novels. This one made me want to get out my Buffy DVD's and WATCH THEM ALL. Angel was always someone that I was not a huge fan of. Every time I re-watch the show, I like him more and more but he still doesn't come close to Spike. I think if you combined Angel's sweet sensitive nature with Spike's British, sexy, sarcastic greatness, then you...
Sooooo, I've had this hanging around the house for yeeeears and have been ignoring it because...well, Angel has never been my favorite. Also right before this came out was the whole Angel/Twilight end-of-magic thing that I kind of hated, so I was not feeling real motivated.But I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would! The art (other than the silly Harmony story at the end) is really good, and I kind of loved how well Isaacs did with Faith's expressions. Good writing too--it came acr...
I really enjoyed this fresh new direction for Angel. After the incidents in 'After the Fall' and 'Twilight', it almost seemed like his character had been through so many over-the-top plot twists that it would be hard to find an interesting direction to take him. This book manages to find that by bringing him back to his roots as a detective.By simplifying the basic story into 'Angel and Faith investigate pages from Giles' diary', the comic provides a solid framework for what looks to be an intri...
Why read: Love Angel.What impressed me: More Angel! Yep, that's about it. What disappointed me: This is a decent continuation of Angel's story, but without Buffy or even his old friends from the series, things are dry. Faith just doesn't make the greatest partner to carry the series. The storyline was sort of ridiculous. Angel wanting to bring Giles back from the dead. As heartbroken as I was when Giles died, the entire idea just seems sadly like grasping at straws.Recommended: Only if you reall...
I did enjoy this way more than I thought I would. I've always liked Angel and Faith together in the series. But you never know how that will translate in the comics. They pulled it off though. I also like where the story arc is going. It seems as though a part of Giles is possessed in Angel. And how they are using all of Giles resources left to Faith. I also enjoy Faith in a more mature and responsible role for once and looking out for Angel. Art was sketchy in some places hence the 4 stars. But...
