Status Updates From Angel: The Wolf, the Ram, a...

The final issue of the IDW Angel series! The beginning was okay. Not sure how Angel was able to make James bleed since he’s meant to be invulnerable. AND we don’t even get to see Jame’s defeated! That was anticlimactic. The issue got better as you felt the story wrapping up. There were a couple of surprises which was cool plus they went the emotional route and I’m a sucker for that!

I was hoping for a cool god against god fight between Illyria and Rowant Mor but sadly, that didn’t happen. Instead, we got a couple of funny quips and a few death scenes. Which somehow worked really well together. But Angel is FINALLY back in the present and I can’t wait to read the final issue of the series!

Issue #42 - Angel and Illyria are reunited however, Illyria wants to kill him! Angel convinces her not to (of course) and they plan to attack Myr together...too bad it’s too late for that! In the present, Connor is hit with the realities of being a leader.

Connor and Laura (in the present) turn to W&H to learn more about ‘James’ aka Myr as Angel (in the future) and half-demon Darrow try to blow up Myr’s breeding plant. They still haven’t said how Angel was delivered to the future or how they are going to send him back. Oh and Illyria is back!

Angel is still stuck in the future. Wolfram & Hart (who pulled him into the future) are trying to get his help in stopping Myr’s plans. Angel isn't too keen on trusting them (for obvious reasons). Connor, Gunn and Lauren are trying to keep Angel Investigations going however that is about to get A LOT harder as we see the beginning of ‘James’ plan! BTW I did NOT like the cartooney illustrations in this issue.

Connor sold the Hyperion, Angel gets sent to the future and ‘James’ aka the not-angel guy has begun his deadly plans for this dimension!

the randomly changing art styles from comic to comic are a little off-putting
