(Read as Single)3.5. Probably the highest rating I have given a Hill GN, but I really do not enjoy his writing style. My enjoyment of this volume was largely carried by my love of the series overall.

An OK start to the Angel reboot. The villain in the first arc is pretty lame. Internet demons are never going to be interesting or threatening. I like the idea of bringing in Angel's Scooby gang from the very beginning even if they are being revamped, at least Fred and Gun are coming back. I do hope they don't leave Angel in Sunnydale for long. That would make it too difficult to give each book its own identity.

Jordie Bellaire's excellent modern-day Buffy reboot comic is a smash hit, so now it's Angel's turn to get reinvigorated! What new side of the centuries-old vampire with a soul will we see in this daring new vision of a fan-favourite character? Well... I guess he... uuh... fights a... phone... app... demon? Yikes.Yeah, this wasn't very good. Bryan Hill is normally a pretty good writer, but I don't feel like he has as strong a handle on Angel as Jordie Bellaire has on Buffy, and his idea for the v...

Hot on the heels of Boom! Studios’ Buffy relaunch is a relaunch for everyone’s favourite vampire-with-a-soul. If you said Spike, get outta here – I mean Angel, of course. But, also like Buffy, this ain’t your daddy’s Angel. He’s still broody, still tortured, and still out to save people, but this time he’s got a new supporting cast (some of whom may be suspiciously familiar), and a new overarching mission. Writer Bryan Hill captures Angel’s mannerisms easily, so he’s clearly still the person we

The first volume of BOOM's new Angel series has a slow burn approach to storytelling The plot is unfolding very slowly, while new characters are added and we get a few glimpses into Angel's past and future, and it seems to work. It is slowly building momentum, and I am intrigued to see where things are heading, but if the next few volumes does not deliver things could be dropped on the floor. This volume does not stand well on its own.Gleb Melnikov's art is not of a style that I would normally b...

An enjoyable reimagine of one of the coolest vampires every. This is split between seeing Angel's past and what he's done and his current fight against someone using tech to kill people. While the storylines themselves are simple the art and dialogue is strong to make this enjoyable. Will read more!

- 5 stars and i absolutely don't understand the low average rating on this????? - the biggest complaint i see is that they didn't like the villain but this volume clearly wasn't even about the villain, it's about angel?????- ANYWAY can't imagine not liking this because it's genuinely so good and i'm loving this universe and re-imagining, it is SO much fun and enjoyable- i cannot wait to keep reading these, i have the second buffy volume ready to go and i know i'm gonna love it just like i did th...

5 🌟Angel battles a demon that is using fear through the internet. He also finds Fred.

I really like the new take on old characters. The flashbacks dispersed throughout the volume were interesting and although I don’t understand everything yet, it has me intrigued and I want to know more. The end section to the special anniversary edition was a great addition and I’m assuming is a little bridge between the first volume and the Hellmouth event (crossover between Buffy and angel). I’m excited to see how Angel and Buffy first meet in this new comic and if it parallels at all to the o...

After some very uneven writing and even more uneven art in the corresponding Buffy BOOM! series, Angel Issues #0-#4, collected here in Angel Vol. 1: Being Human was a welcome and delicious treat. Darker and gorier than the simultaneous-running Buffy reboot series, Angel’s been given better writing, better characterizations, and much, much better art. (My art complaints about Buffy really only set in after Issue #4, when the series lost the extremely talented Dan Mora as illustrator.) There are s...

Decent for a reboot, avoiding most of the obvious pitfalls that the Buffy series walked right into, but nothing in it answers the question why? Why did you need to relocate the franchise to 'modern' times from only 20 years ago? If you can't answer that, you shouldn't have done it.

This was great and I need more right now. I can’t wait for the crossover with Buffy and I love how they incorporate technology without feeling too hacky.

Absolutely fabulous! I thought I wasn't going to pick this one up, anticipating too many changes for my taste. Glad I was wrong! A revamped story with all the nice details that made Angel's story so great. Love it!

This was a cool introduction to this version of Angel. The art is nice, and there were a couple awesome scenes. That said, it didn’t feel too meaty; as in, it was a quick read and wasn’t exactly memorable. Reading month to month was hard because I forgot what happened exactly last time each time. Still, it was enjoyable, and it’s neat seeing the characters reintroduced here. I think they’re shoehorning in a crossover event next a bit too soon, but I hope it works. 3.7/5 stars

Not as good as the Buffy re-imagining, but I think there is potential in this. The "social media makes people sad" angle was a little tired but otherwise well-done. They brought Fred in early, and I think she'll be a good character. Otherwise.... we'll see.It got me re-watching the show. Charisma Carpenter is underrated as a comedic actress.

Honestly, it was hard to care about this comic. Yes, the post-season-seven comics got a bit bewildering. But this went back to such an immature and undeveloped version of the character that it was like starting all over again. The comic was almost painful to read as a result, as Hill slowly picked his way through major character points about Angel being evil and blahblahblahblah that I was bored with decades ago.Things were improving by the end. Lilith seems like a good new character, and the fo...

So we rebooting EVERYTHING, even Angels origins and his entire arc. This is interesting. I'm not sure why it's needed, but I'm also intrigued because elements of this are better than the original, but its also still Whedon so we can count on women suffering to forward the plot.

Wow, honestly just wow I really enjoyed this reimagining of my most loved vampire-with-a-soul storyline than the one in the tv show and that is saying a lot!I loved how we got to see Angel in a whole new light and his transformation was excellent I always wondered why would a 300 plus vampire only change when he sees the "love of his life" and not before like there was so much he could have done. So, I'm glad that this rendition of his character shows him differently and improved in my eyes.Over...
