SPIKE!!! He is definitely my favorite character in the Buffyverse with Oz coming in a close second so it was great to see him introduced here. The artwork is good and I enjoyed the storyline and a couple of other characters that you can't help but love from the show. Quick read and enjoyed it.

Ligeramente mejor que el volumen dos pero poco más, todavía estoy esperando a que la historia pegue una buena subida. Y el dibujo en su línea; decente pero sin ser para tirar cohetes.


No one believes in monsters, but I don't need belief. I have memories.

He hates his own reflection. When you’re a vampire, you make people your mirrors.

The continued fleshing out of the lore is so rich! 
Vampires can do magic?? Stunning!

I've always been less invested in Angel as a series, and I like Spike coming in and taking over like in season 5 this early... also the next volume is Angel and Spike so that sounds promising.

The thing about this Boom series, with their introducing characters from seasons deep in Buffy right at the start is that the development of the characters is being destroyed.

Angel isn't the Angel of the Angel TV series without being in Buffy's presence for three years. It was his love of Buffy that brought out his inner champion.

And as for Spike, he was a downright baddie until he got the chip in his head and joined the Scooby Gang so he could at least hit something and again, his love for Buffy and being around her began to change him.

In Boom all that development just magically happens for no good reason, and the result is some very poor story telling. Which continues the legacy of one of the best told stories, which makes it all the more disappointing.

I'm pretty close to thinking Fox/Disney should take the franchise off of Boom, move it to Marvel and try again. Do something to link the old show and comic timeline with the planned new TV show.
This series is killing the Buffy property.

I really liked the art and the dark moments, plus the introduction of team angel. I think it was a perfect second volume in carrying on the narrative but also making do with the protagonist being missing. The ending felt a bit anticlimactic.
