The Curse

The Curse is a trade papeback collecting comic stories based on the Angel'' television series.

Having survived the battle of Not Fade Away, we find Angel in Romania. He has travelled there in the hope he can find the Kalderesh clan, the gypsies who cursed him with a soul. Angel believes that he deserves some happiness with a woman, possibly with Nina having been through so much and lost so many that had been close to him. Instead Angel finds a gypsy fighting force struggling against the oppressive regime of Corneliu Brasov. Meanwhile the single remaining member of the Kalderesh Clan, Natalya, maybe the only one who can remove Angel's curse.

Trivia

 * Jeff Mariotte had the tough task of being the first to tell stories in the Buffyverse post- Not Fade Away which was widely seen by fans in a good light. The conclusion to Angel had been open-ended, but this comic was limited by being unable to solve lingering questions in fans' minds, which were later answered in Old Friends.
