Boo. This was the worst one of the series. There was no humor (not even a little bit), and the plot was boring and nonsensical. The artwork was unappealing, the dialogue dull and some of the characters were changed to the point of being no longer recognizable. Exhibit A-Gwen, as desperate stalker/torturer. Exhibit B-Kate as blue-outfitted super fighter. I'm still shaking my head about that outfit.

Here is my advice to any Angel fans who want to read this series: Read volumes 1-4, skip volume 5 (this one),and finish with volume 6-The Last Angel in Hell. Even that one gets a little tiresome by the end. Don't read anything after that. I know you want to, but don't. ( )

The story was kinda so so, an introduction of a jaguar warrior and an angel named James. That was pretty much the best parts. The art sucked. Everyone had their faces changed so they wouldn't be mistaken for the real ones. It kinda ruined the whole mood, and I found myself wishing I was back in the other sucky art from After the Fall. Yes, it was that bad. ( )

I was hoping they'd do something interesting with post-hell LA and widely-recognized Angel. But this isn't it. The story left me somewhat confused, and the artwork was quite bad. ( )

First off, I hate the artwork. None of the characters are recognizable and half the time Angel looks like a Hulked-out vampire. Blerg. I like that Gwen, Kate and Connor are in this and I like the additions of Dez and Jamaerah. Not sure what’s up with the Elohim and the Potentates, but I’m looking forward to seeing where this is heading. As long as it’s drawn by someone else. Because I hate when characters are unrecognizable. It’s too frustrating. ( )

Well I saw the series, then I got my hands on this in work and read it, having not read the previous books, and well, it doesn't work on it's own. The plot with the were-panther was interesting but the angels were a bit ott and the women's costumes were a bit scant (I'm sorry, but if you're wearing almost armour on the top, why is your midrift bare? Please! There were also some moments of wonder as to where some women's organs went when they're viewed from certain angles cause they seem to get thinner.

Interesting but you need to read the rest of the series to get where the angst comes from. ( )
