I enjoyed this issue too. The art was good, and the story was moving along at pace. I'm still not a fan of Lilith. She's like Season 1 Angel, she appears, says something cryptic and all-knowingy and then vanishes. I don't see the point of her.
Kate seemed to accept the fact that she'd have to fight demons a bit too easily, but I like that she's possibly the reincarnation of Mara, or so similar it haunts Angel. Spike pops up once to add some humour, which was fun. There's a panel of the two vamps together and they look exactly the same, except for the hair.
I kept thinking Lilah was Cordy and I miss Cordy and Angel together.
