Great story, just not enough of it
Review date: 2008-09-26 Rating: 8 out of 10
I loved this continuation of Angel's story, and that of the old team, but I was gutted when halfway through the already slim volume the story abruptly stopped, to be continued. The rest of the book is taken up with artwork, story outlines and other filler, which some might enjoy but I'd have preferred the story not to be spread so thinly between "volumes".

Awesome and Brilliant... After the Fall is ANGEL like you have never seen it before...

after buying this i read through it twice and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times as well as interesting plot twists for the storyline to have the universe made even more less clear than it ever was... (There are minor suprises at the end of Chapter 1, 3 but the huge plot twist comes at the end of the 5th part of 'After the Fall'.)
if this was the idea for Angels final season then fox are idiots for cancelling the series when they did as this would've made a great TV Season...
Can't wait for Angel: After the Fall - Volume 2: First Night
Perfect continuation...

This is, in my eyes, a perfect continuation of the television series.
The previous reviewer complains that this isn't the complete story but I thought that was kind of the point, it's meant to be the first volume of 'the next series' and cliffhangers were a big part of ANGEL.
If you liked the show ANGEL you'll love this (officially sanctioned) vision of the future.
My only complaint would be the high price tag (the extra pages at the back are nice but not particularly 'must-read').
Three stars is a little low but I wanted to reflect that this isn't the complete story.

this is the opening arc of the story and while its Ok it only just gets the characters set up and doesn't finish the story. That said the story itself doesn't quite sit right at first either. It takes a while for the story to reveal much and it has jumped forward from the cliffhanger at the end of the last Tv episode to a period some months later, so things have changed greatly and the story gradually reveals these. This is not a bad thing but it makes it either fascinating or frustrating if you are reading monthly installments. Franco Urru's art is mediocre, and his story telling isn't great making the pages seem jumbled. It doesn't make it aseem like an appealling read.
