Shadow Puppets, Part One

"Spike: Shadow Puppets" was a mini-series of comics based on Angel. It was also a sequel of sorts to "Smile Time" and Spike: Asylum.

Synopsis
Angel once put a stop to an evil children's show, but not before being turned into a puppet during his fight. Now, fresh out of the Asylum, it's Spike's turn! Spike and Lorne head off to Japan to stop the latest Japanese kids' show... Smile Time! Will they become "puppetized" themselves? And along the way, find themselves in a fight with hundreds of ninja-puppets, reuniting with fellow Asylum inmates, and be at extreme odds with one other?
