Template:AngelComicBooks

Angel was an comic book series from IDW Publishing. 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.

Premise

It was the official continuation of the Angel television series, picking up where "Not Fade Away" left off. The series initially dealt with the consequences of Team Angel's uprising against the Senior Partners, which was that Wolfram & Hart transported Los Angeles to Hell. In this situation, Wesley remained contractually bound to the sinister Wolfram & Hart; Gunn had become a vampire capturing victims under the pretence that he is rescuing them; and Angel's son Connor, ex-girlfriend Nina, and old acquaintance Gwen were working to provide a safehouse for the people of Los Angeles under siege by demons. Angel himself, and a friendly dragon, Cordelia, are forced to live in Hell as Angel discovers he is now human and vunerable. Issues #1-17 reflect this canonical arc written by Joss Whedon & Brian Lynch, with art by Franco Urru.

At the end of After the Fall, Gunn succesfully killed Angel causing the Senior Partners to create a temporal fold before they sent all of L.A to Hell. With L.A returned to normal the second half of the series focussed on the re-opening of Angel Investigations, and the how the characters dealt with their traumatic experiences. The story also branches off into several one-shots & limited series involving Gunn, Illyria, & Spike.

Continuity

The events took place after "Not Fade Away", but before "The Long Way Home, Part One".

	Bookended by images of Betta George in captivity, the 'First Night' stories of Spike, Connor, and Lorne are presented in three sections.

The second segment displays Connor's internal conflict as he considers rejoining the fight, and is then inevitably drawn into it. The third section is presented in a cartoonish rhyming style, showing Lorne's path from Lindsey's murder to becoming lord of Silver Lake.

She pretends to be Fred, but Wesley is not fooled. The scene then shifts to Connor's situation; Kate Lockley arrives, armed to the teeth, and "rescues" Connor, taking him to her well-armed lair. In the present day, Betta George is still held captive by Gunn's lackeys, and it is shown that Gunn's vampires have been training against captive Slayers.

Angel, Connor, Gwen, Nina, and Illyria question a vampire over who killed the lord in #1. Illyria reveals to Connor, Gwen, and Nina that Angel is now human. Realizing that Illyria knew he was human through her ability to detect power, Angel tells Illyria to use her ability to search for the vampires "sitting on the power". Gunn has Betta George attacked by slayers, and eventually, a desperate George uses his ability to mentally freeze them. Gunn then has George attempt to contact help outside of L.A., but George is surprised to learn that Gunn has tricked him; Los Angeles going to Hell has been covered up. However, Betta George has also contacted Angel for help. Angel arrives, ready to attack, after Illyria detected Gunn's gang, "vampires atop a structure brimming with power". Angel is horrified, however, upon recognizing Gunn in their midst.

On another plane, Angel is reunited with an apparition of Cordelia, meant to ease his transition. Wesley arrives and confronts Gunn with information from the Senior Partners: the visions are their own, and all they have wrought is part of a larger plan for Angel. He reveals Angel (and Angel alone) is still entitled to the future in the Shanshu prophecy, and delivers Angel a glimpse of it. Angel sees an image of himself as a vampire surrounded by dozens of dead bodies in the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle. This vision however, leads Angel to resign himself to death.

Gwen, seeking atonement, sacrifices herself to destroy the legion in an electrical discharge. Connor makes his way into the building and defeats Gunn in combat, kicking him through the window. Connor's pleads to a dying Angel and helps him realize that he would never become a soulless vampire again; Cordelia's spirit bids Angel farewell after reassuring him of his status as a champion of good. While the group desperately encourage Angel to keep fighting and survive, Spike re-emerges seemingly alive, accompanied by the three Slayers who killed him. Gunn, on the streets, encounters Illyria and through feigning sadness and remorse, triggers her transformation into Fred, before he surreptitiously shoots her in the chest.

	Written by: Brian Lynch and Joss Whedon	Artist: Stephen Mooney
	A new demon army arrives in Los Angeles and takes Angel's body so that Angel can be resurrected to fulfill the prophecy.

Groosalugg and his black winged horse, also named Cordelia, slay many of Wolfram & Hart's dragons. Despite being interrupted by the demon army, Gunn manages to successfully restore Illyria to her original demonic form, with the intent of using her fully-restored powers to rewind time to before the Fall permanently.
