Review, Angel: After the Fall, #7
Ok, finally got my comic, so thought I would do a review of it, if anyone is still interested.
Well, Betta really should just have taken off, rather than hang about talking, shouldn't he. Little bit of a hint that he has met Spike before, and that there is a team of slayers in LA. Could be interesting to see where that pans out.
Now the Wesley story line. Throwing in the red herrings as to who the woman was all round the place. Lilah did pretend to be Fred before, and we know she is dead, and still working for Wolfram & Hart. Just like Wesley. I suspect it isn't Lilah, because Wesley threatens to strangle her. When she last appeared, she was wearing a scarf round her neck to cover the slash from where her head was decapitated from her body. Wesley would recognise her, and wouldn't make that mistake.
The hints of Eve and the Garden of Eden. Still not falling for Eve being the one myself. The Senior Partners might make her give Wesley anything he wants, including passion, and yes, when we last saw her she wasn't dead, but that could easily change. I just don't think the female looked like her, or acted like her at all. So will just have to wait and see I guess.
Connor and Kate were good together. Loved that Connor was thinking Kate was flirting with him, and not adverse to the idea. They really didn't cure him of his attraction for older women, did they?
Nice to have Kate turn up to do her thing and save Connor. Ties in nicely with Angel turning up and saving her. And her arsenal looks cool. I was never really keen on Kate in the series, but Brian has yet again written her in such a way that I like her. Telling Connor what Angel said to her, and Connor's reaction "That sounds self-important", was a lovely touch.
Normally I am not keen on comics where a few artists are involved in the one issue. Maybe because it is so dark in this issue, it worked reasonably well. The artwork did blend in, and nothing too jarring. I still do not think that Stephen Mooney quite captures a likeness that well, but it is a comic, and I did know who they were. What more can I ask for.
Rick Runge did a good Wesley. Not so sure about the females. Then he did get Fred's slightly tom-boy figure well. So no real complaints about the artwork.
Overall I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the next issue.
I also have the Buffy Season Eight comic as well. I was going to wait until the end of the story arc to read them all at on go. That way I might avoid getting annoyed at something and stewing for a month, but I will read it.....Could talk about it in IM later Alex!

Oh, yes. It's a moment that brought tears in my eyes. Poignant bookend.

Yes I thought the Connor and Kate segment was great! And somewhat overlooked!

Yes that's true. Comic!Kate seems to be fun, I wonder, if she'll make an appearance in the main series.
no subject
Yes, I liked Kate in this, she was full of take charge, not oh woe is me! Like she was in the series. This time she could take care of herself!

Wesley's story made me cry... it's just so sad. I so desperately want them to have some sort of happy ending or at least to rest in peace.
I loved Kate and Connor!! I really hope we'll see Kate again, it was nice finding out what she's been doing. I'm really excited about Kate!

Yes, Wes and Fred deserve a happy ever after, I just cannot see it in this verse!
Kate and Conner were great. She was so concerned with taking care of him, she never even gave a thought that he might be able to do something for himself! Sweet!
