I never liked Angel the series as much as Buffy (except when Angelus awoke), so I was a bit hesitant to read these. Still, I wanted to because they had Spike, and I would understand the continuation a bit better. They were alright, but lacked the quirkiness of Buffy, and the fact that I'm not a huge fan of Angel didn't help. The art, however, was wonderful as usual (apart from Jason Armstrong, whose art was so atrocious I had a hard time focusing on the story). Urru's style is gorgeous, and it's what I want from comics. Brian Denham was also great, his characters looked a lot like themselves.

What comes to the season finale of the series, some people seemed to have trouble with the sudden ending. I liked it, it suited the themes very well and it was dramatic. Here are two quotes that I found from some random forum (sorry, can't remember where), and which sum up my thoughts exactly.

'"Not Fade Away" is about doing what's right, even if there's nothing in it for you, even if you know that you're pretty much signing your death warrant by doing so.'

'Angel, his story is about the journey, not the destination. From beginning to end, it's about his fight against evil and more than once it's emphasized this fight can never truly be over, but that will never totally stop Angel from working for the good side even if he loses everyone he loves.'
