About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Angel: Yearbook is a collection of the final comics published by IDW and it's a celebration of the five years run of the series.

...Dust to Dust - Gunn reflects on growing up with his sisters Aloona and what inspired him to hunt vampires. Since I can't remember much about Gunn before he met Angel was it interesting to read this story. 3.5

OMG Unicorns - Harmony tries to stay cheerful by updating her blog after losing her job at Wolfram & Hart. Harmony tries really hard to not fall back on drinking blood from humans in this short story. Harmony is such a fun characters, she isn't bright, but she is funny. 3

All the Time in the World - Wes and Fred tried to enjoy a normal first date, but it doesn't go that well.This was one of the best stories in this collection. Fred and Wes just can't find some alone time. 4

My only Friend - Angel contemplates his relationship with L.A.I had to check up My only Friend, because I had completely forgotten what the story was about. But then again it was only two pages long. 2

Fight for the Remote - Spike and Angel fight for what to watch on the telly. OK story, short, but it shows how well Angel and Spike goes along, like dogs and cats. 3

This one Time -  Angel and the gang tries to help Mikaela who has a slight reality-warping ability. It's hard to help someone who has the ability to change reality, but can't control it. 4

I really enjoyed these short stories! Some of them were ridiculous (like Angel would pull a sword on Spike for a remote control) but some of them were filled with meaning and emotion (the equally funny and sad story of Fred and Wesley’s attempts at a first date). I love ‘what if?’ stories and seeing the different ‘realities’ these characters could've been in were exciting and emotional. The final story was a goodbye from the editor of the Angel series. You could honestly feel how much love and joy he had working on Angel and telling these stories with the other creators. I have to say that super meta ending where he wanted ‘to slay the dark hoooooorse…’ was pretty hilarious!

I liked the last comic and the one about Fred and Wesley.

Angel: Yearbook #1

The fight against the darkness was never meant to be led by a vampire, even one with a soul. But Angel kept Los Angeles safe for everyone.

IDW signs off their 'Angel' run with a thank you to the fans. Funny and exciting, with high quality artwork and a great exit scene from the editors.

Fun, quirky little stories to knock out the end of the Angel run. Good to read. Didn't love them.

There are some great short pieces in this collection. The Wesley and Fred one was particularly funny and heart breaking. A good read.

3.5.

the Fred/Wes one was particularly devastating. loved the one about alternative realities, always obsessed with people telling spike he was always destined to be a hero. 😇
