Angel has found everyone is going to the same person in London’s Magic Town for advice—and it’s decidedly not him. But she is someone Angel can take partial credit for . . . And the pixie menaces have stepped up their muscle with another lady from Angel’s past. Meanwhile, Faith is screwing up. Again.
Angel & Faith Season 10 #3 really plays on the trust that Angel and Faith lack and fail for that lack of it. Nothing too big has happened so far, but a genuine build up like we've seen which stays true to their characters is what's best for the story. I do expect something big to come soon, though hopefully that happens within a pacing that we can agree on. Nothing is going to come easy for these two and the excitement comes from how they handle their situations. Read Full Review
Angel & Faith Season 10 continues to twist a entertaining take but the difference between plot developments gives an unbalanced tone to the story. Nevertheless it continues to be very enjoyable so I highly recommend it. Read Full Review
On the whole then, Angel & Faith Season 10 #3 is a fun, interesting read that should satisfy fans of the Buffy-verse. Whilst its too early to determine which book is stronger, this or the main Buffy title both are putting out impressive showings and its great to see both books in such excellent shape.

That said, there were really no major problems with this issue, and it showed both Faith and Angel's separate subplots unfolding gradually. This should appeal to both diehard fans and the more casual Buffyverse observer alike. Read Full Review
Dark Horse should beaiming higher with a franchise that I absolutely love. I grew up with this stuff, I know all the episodes of Buffy and Angel like the back of my hand, so I like to think I know what I'm talking about when I say that both of those shows were constantly evolving. For better or worse they kept changing and never stopped aiming high, which for a TV show is a big deal. With Angel & Faith though I get the feeling that they're trapped by their own mythology; doomed to just keep things lukewarm and not just let loose. That's the kind of comic book this could be. Forget what's come before and stop trying to recreate the TV series and instead create something new. That's what I want to read. Read Full Review
I don't know what they were thinking with splitting Angel and Faith up AND trying to keep it in the same comic. Both of these stories would be a lot stronger if they stood on their own. Regardless of that, the stories themselves seem to be moving in a really nice direction. Faith's questioning her role within Kennedy's organization, and whether she would be better off with Buffy and her gang. Angel has his own problems in Magic Town and, while he may feel alone, he is anything but. I basically want this set up to be over now. Read Full Review
