Angel (IDW series)

Angel is an ongoing comic book series published by IDW Publishing. It is the official continuation of the Angel television series, picking up where "Not Fade Away" left off. The series initially deals with the consequences of Team Angel's uprising against the Senior Partners, and later focuses on the re-opening of Angel Investigations.

The title began as a limited series subtitled After the Fall. This storyline lasted for seventeen issues, after which IDW chose to continue the series as an ongoing with new writers. While After the Fall was plotted by Joss Whedon and considered canon, the canonical status of subsequent issues is more ambiguous.

The series has several spin-offs, including a number of limited series and an ongoing Spike title from the creative team of After the Fall.
