>So, I’m almost done with the entire Angel TV series (thank you TNT + DVR) and while I’m a huge fan of Buffy, I’ve found myself enjoying Angel a little more. Perhaps because there’s a little more of a noir element up until the last season giving it a detective story feel, and less teen angst then there is in Buffy. I have the first trade of Angel: After the Fall and I’m doing everything within my power to not read it before I can finally witness the series finale.

Having to see the comics all the time while watching the show has prompted a lot of questions that have been gradually answered like; Who’s that chick with the blue hair?, how come I haven’t seen Cordelia on any of the covers?, hey didn’t Spike die? Is Connor still around? These questions are becoming a little more clear, and I have to wonder if I’ll end up enjoying the events of After the Fall a little more than I have Buffy: Season 8. Either way, I can’t wait to get started.

I forget who it was in the shop that observed that Angel seems to be gaining in populaity of comic series as Wolverine or Deadpool, but I’d have to say that’s true. These characters seem to live on quite well beyond television and were ready made for the world of comics.
