I haven’t been too impressed with Angel & Faith. It’s a bit boring. The best thing in this volume was Spike, but I love Spike.

So far, Volume 3 Family Reunion has been my favorite of this series, but I enjoyed Volume 4 as well. It was interesting to get a taste of Giles's past life as "The Ripper" and only wish I could have learned more about his early years. I definitely appreciated the chemistry between Spike and Faith as shown in this Volume. I've always been Team Angel, but Spike has grown on me during the course of reading the Buffyverse comics. Angel and Faith both have narratives of redemption, so I think they make a great duo. I can't wait to see where the series takes me next.

Nothing new here, but there really doesn't have to be cause Faith and Angel are amazing! They are still on the quest to piece Giles back together, which I'm still not sure about judging from all the prior resurrection attempts in the Angel and Buffy universe.
Faith is still battling her past and struggling to be the slayer everyone wants her to be; she's there for Angel and for her girls, but that's not so easy a job. I really grew to enjoy Nadria in this, in the past she was just torn up and totally reckless, but by the end of this volume I've become super excited to see more from her. Nadria is kinda this fresh character that has a lot of the past slayer baggage we have dealt with from Faith.
Angel is still brooding and guilt ridden. He is trying to make amends. Again. He has no thought to the risk he puts himself through even though he knows those around him are going to try stopping him. Typical Angel, but you have to respect him for it- besides I kinda do want Giles back.
Speaking of Giles...past Giles is amazing! You should read this just to see what he was like back then. Also Eyghon! I love that we went all the way back to Buffy season 2 for that! I'm a giant fan of the show (it's why I read these) and I really live for moments where I can be like o whoa I remember that!
Spike (cough cough Blondie Bear, really?) comes back in the picture which is always very much appreciated. The Angel and Spike dynamic is a fave of mine I do hope this doesn't change.
So yes amazing read! Totally for the fans, full of references from the past and progression toward the current story, can't wait to get my hands on what happens next!

And now Spike shows up and he's better over here than he is over in the Buffy comics.

I've seen a lot of complaints that Spike's characterization in Angel & Faith is awful, but now that I've seen it for myself I just don't agree, I feel that it's spot on, I could hear his voice with every line.

Me ha encantado. Esta colección captura de forma espectacular a los personajes que conocimos en la serie. Y en esta ocasión, pasan cosas muy chulas que no os puedo contar para no spoilear, pero os diré que vemos el pasado de alguien del Buffyverse, y mola demasiado :)

A more solid entry in what's been a pretty up-and-down spinoff. Good to read a backstory of sorts for Giles, good to see some progress in the story, even if it still feels a little tacked on.

Well, that happened. It was more slight than bad, but this whole Angel apologist thing is conveniently ret-con for me. He was not possessed in Season 8, he made bad choices. It doesn't say anything about him as a character if he just gets possessed all the time. The character stuff tries to be there, but it's just cartoonish.

I was having a hard time getting into the earlier volumes, but this one was great! Bringing in Eyghon from BtVS season two was brilliant. Spike too. There was a lot of action and the resurrection plot is really coming along.
