They have Spike sounding exactly like Lorne

I really, really, really hate the art in these; it looks like really bad comics from the 60s.

This is just awful. They should just stop with the comics altogether.

Got your wish there. Now its Buffy's turn

Issue 16 wraps everything up very quickly. Fred is a God, Angel kills Lilah, the gang end up at the Hyperion and they are entering the Multiverse. So it's the end for these versions of the gang, but other versions will appear in teh multiverse over on Buffy.

What a disappointing end to the series which was so strong until the new writer took over. It felt very rushed, you can tell this was a last minute cancellation and they had to wrap up the arc in just one issue when it should have lasted another two or three. Really curious what led to the decision, did sales drop significantly with the new writer?

Okay yeah, I just looked up the sales and between June and September the Angel series dropped from 131 best selling to 212 so I'm assuming that trend continued and the October sales were even worse.

Meanwhile Buffy has been consistently hitting around 150 during that same period, even peaking as high as 29th during May.

Even the Willow miniseries consistently performed the same if not better than the Buffy main series, Angel has been the weakest link in the franchise and getting progressively worse sales since the new writer was announced.

The Angel title was good, actually story wise it was much better than the Buffy title. I'm sad it wasn't as popular. But the new writer is not as good, and the drop in quality shows.
