"Angel: Aftermath" is a hardcover collecting issues eighteen to twenty two of the Angel comic book series. These stories were written Kelley Armstrong and the penciller was Dave Ross. This lead to a noticeable shift in storytelling and art direction which proved unpopular with fans, causing Bryan Lynch and penciller Franco Urru being brought back for "Become What You Are"

Continuity

This comic picks up a fortnight after the end of the last issue which ended Joss Whedon and Bryan Lynch's canon After the Fall. The "Aftermath" art direction and writing style shifted away from realistic covers, close character resemblance and Whedon-esque writing. Another noticeable shift is the cast of characters. Though this is considered by IDW the continuation of their Angel series picking up right after issue #17 ended, popular writer Brian Lynch returned in issue 23 to wrap up his After the Fall arc officially.
