Calling it quits on this series. I really tried. But the art work has gone down hill fast, and the story line is so disjointed. The premise was something that could be good. But I feel like they gave up way before I did.

Angel and Spike, Vol. 2 by Zac Thompson continues the supernatural adventures in the dark and gritty world of Los Angeles. Angel and Spike find themselves facing new and old enemies while trying to salvage friendships. Volume 2 sees the two vampires embroiled in a power struggle that threatens not only their own existence but also the balance of the supernatural forces in the city. Alongside their allies, they must confront their own pasts as well as the ever-present danger of the Hellmouth.

Angel and Spike, Vol. 2 delivers a character-driven installment in the ongoing Buffyverse saga. This volume delves into a deeper understanding of Angel’s past struggles and the exploration of his and Spike’s rivalry and uneasy partnership.

The artwork has its hits and misses. The cover is a bit of a miss for me, but there are some great pages inside.

As with any continuation of a well-loved franchise, there is a challenge to meet the high expectations of fans. I think this volume holds up in some areas and falls a bit flat in others. I think I am looking for a bit more of Gunn and Fred and am missing that. I will continue with the series but have mixed feelings about the direction it is taking.

3.5 stars

“Cut off my cheeks so that my tears won’t roll down them. I can’t enter this. Not again.”
dangit if Angel doesn’t have a poetic soul! Not my favorite of the series (mostly because the art seemed rushed) but I am continuing to enjoy this series!
