I feel like this book is maintaining the quality it started with consistently— which is both good and bad, because it needs to get better. Adding Spike in as a lead is a good move, but it’s still unearned. I’m glad to see Kate incorporated, and I hope they use her well. I’m not a fan of what they’re doing with Fred, which is a shame. There was a cool, metaphoric story at the heart of this volume, but it’s kinda bogged down by all the underdeveloped characters and relationships.

Continuing to be generous and round up to four stars, but maybe I’m just feeling so nice because compared to the Buffy title of recent months, this is way better. 3.5/5 stars

This series (which I'm reading as single issues) was well-served by not being directly involved in the Hellmouth crossover event with Boom's Buffy series. By comparison, its storyline is moving at a reasonable pace and the writers haven't tried to introduce too many familiar characters too quickly rather than bringing them in gradually the way such things typically happen. (I think the Buffy series has tried to do too much too soon after a strong first set of issues.)

(I think the Buffy series has tried to do too much too soon after a strong first set of issues.) My only complaint about the art by Gleb Melnikov is that the female characters have strikingly similar faces and some diversity of looks would be welcome. Of the pre-existing female characters, none of them bear any particular resemblance to the actors who portrayed them (none of whom looked at all like one another). In contrast, the male characters are easily distinguished and look like their respective actor counterparts. Otherwise, I like the over-all style.

Now we're getting somewhere. With Angel & Spike on the same page, it's time for plot lines to start sizzling into something bigger, as Wolfram and Hart make their move on Fred, and the mystery surrounding Gunn deepens. And all the while, Kate Lochley's on the outskirts just waiting to get her hands in. The main plot here actually isn't the main draw - it's a generic demon slaying puzzle with a few little hints at more for Kate further down the line. But the side stuff with Fred and Wolfram and Har Now we're getting somewhere. With Angel & Spike on the same page, it's time for plot lines to start sizzling into something bigger, as Wolfram and Hart make their move on Fred, and the mystery surrounding Gunn deepens. And all the while, Kate Lochley's on the outskirts just waiting to get her hands in. The main plot here actually isn't the main draw - it's a generic demon slaying puzzle with a few little hints at more for Kate further down the line. But the side stuff with Fred and Wolfram and Hart definitely has a lot of promise, and I'm intrigued as to where the flashback stuff is going too. It's not quite the Angel TV series, but it's not trying to be either; it's its own thing, and reveling in it. I'm still not overly sold on artist Gleb Melnikov, but I will admit that he attacks all of this stuff with gusto, and his enthusiasm is well placed even if his characters aren't. A good second phase for the book - it's taking a while to get going, but it's definitely got a good head of steam now. So of course, now it's having a writer change and being cancelled in four issues. God damn it.

Really enjoying this story progression, can't wait for the next issue. Wish Buffy would come into play though. Really enjoying this story progression, can't wait for the next issue. Wish Buffy would come into play though.
