Not much to say about this. I read it because I loved the TV show, and have been making my way through these graphic novels. There's nothing really special about it, and I would say these are only for big Angel fans.

This was not my favourite within the Angel series. It just took me a bit to get attached to the story arc, and sometimes I found the characters didn't seem as consistent artistically. But, I still want to finish the series. I'm forever a HUGE Angel fan, after all.

Great episode, really a transitional episode
It is a little distracting the fact that Angel looks nothing like David Boreanaz, he looks like a random Italian or Hispanic guy. Same with Connor and Gwen.
I did love the new jaguar girl

This was SUCH a letdown compared to previous volumes. Gwen's and Kate's characterizations were horrendous, and even putting Kate in crop tops doesn't make her any less unlikable. Jaguar lady was whatever I guess, but angels? Seriously? I haven't been this annoyed since Supernatural brought them in.

Not what I expected, but interesting to see what happens after After the Fall.

Lots of mixed feelings about this one.

On the one hand, I liked the inclusion of new elements in the lore of the series. I'm a sucker for angels and jaguar ladies. It's nice to see Angel struggling in the aftermath of the battle, not knowing how to deal with the fame and recognition than being a hero brings. On the other hand, the art irked me. A LOT. The characters did not look like tha characters at all, and what's worse, they did not behave like the characters. Can someone explain to me what's the point of wearing a bullet vest...that leaves all the rest of your torso (except for da boobz) exposed? I recall a specific page where the three main ladies are portrayed and ALL OF THEM are wearing cropped tops and pants that defy the laws of gravity. Ehm, excuse me?

I liked and didn't like this volume at the same time. I enjoyed Kate being back but at the same time wishes the women of the story had a bit more clothes on them. She never struck me as the scantily clad type. The story was okay but had a bit too much lead up in my opinion.
