It's weird that the removal of Angel in his (half) titular comic is what makes it a lot better. But it could also be the focus on one story instead of two stories, as it has been. This also gives Faith some more leadership opportunities and a chance in the spotlight.

Visually what appeals the most so far about Angel & Faith is that no matter who has taken over for art aside from Will Conrad, it has always looked as if it is all the same person. You can see the differences in style, but nothing drastic that would take you out of the story. Which means the quality is there with cleans pencils, shading, and character structure.

Those things means a lot when you add them up. Read Full Review
