Vampire Angel is tormented by a vision linking his shameful past to something very big-and very bad-that is coming. The goddess Illyria gives Angel some insight and incentive. Then she really gets involved, and Angel discovers that it might be possible to change the future by changing the past.
Angel may have lost Faith, but he's gained Fred! This tale of ghosts has Angel and Fred going where no episode has gone before"but to find what? If the past is haunting Angel, there's no telling where this story can go, but I'm eager to see where. The story is intriguing and the art top notch. Recommended. Read Full Review
Angel Season 11 #1 takes us into uncharted territory. Who would have guessed time travel of all thing is something we would experience now? Definitely an adventure you would look forward to knowing that there might be an inevitable meeting with the very reason why Angel's past is so shameful to him. Read Full Review
The story itself is an okay set-up for the new season. However, I'm far more excited by the return of Fred (who apparently is sharing a body with Illyria this time around). The idea of exploring an Angelus storyline is intriguing, but my squees for joy come from seeing Fred back in action. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Angel Season 11 #1 ends with Angel traveling back in time so maybe figures from his past will pop up and playing supporting roles and help this comic transform from Irish Supernatural-lite to the Buffyverse's "Days of Future Past." But, for now, it's just a mediocre exorcism story with a time travel twist, two stiff lead characters, and uninspiring art. It's definitely not the best wayto launch a new season. Read Full Review
The art is solid on this book, the story however is stilted and a little hard to follow; not a good sign with this being the first issue and all. I expected a bigger bang for my buck with this re-launch. It looks like I over estimated Angel. Read Full Review
SCORE: 6.7
The plot was a mix of overly vague and overly convenient, so it moved along to where it wanted to go without making a lot of sense. It's fine for the start of a story to raise questions, but here I'm not sure what questions I should be asking (other than, are church crypts really that casually accessible?) But I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt and a few more issues.
