'Angel's' Spike Gets His Own Series!
Vampire fans sure love their spin-off series! Angel: After the Fall, a comic series continuation of Joss Whedon?s five TV seasons of Angel (itself a spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), has already sold out its first four issues, and some of those issues have gone into fourth printings to keep up with the demand!
But IDW isn?t done bringing you your vampire fill! Issues 6, 7 and 8 of Angel: After the Fall will begin a three-part adventure, First Night, featuring multiple storylines dealing with Angel?s large cast of characters--including Spike, Connor, Lorne, Gwen, and Wesley--and the affects of that apocalyptic fight in the alley on each character. And issue 9 plans to pick up with the shocking end of the TV series? season 5.
As if Angel wasn?t enough, with the re-introduction of Spike in First Night, he will also receive his own miniseries this July! Titled similarly, Spike: After the Fall will be written and illustrated by Joss Whedon's hand-picked team, which handled Angel: After the Fall, Brian Lynch and Franco Urru; and will include answers to some of fan?s most burning questions. The four-part series will begin with First Night, exploring Spike's changing relationship with Illyria in the new city, and how Spike ended up in that Westwood mansion.
All re-printings of Angel: After the Fall issues 1-3 are in stores now, issue 4?s second printing will hit stores on April 2 and Spike: After the Fall will be available in stores this July.
