    After the massive success of Buffy Season 8, we're finally going to find out what happened to the Angel crew after the seemingly impossible battle at the end of Season 5!

    Here's an interview a friend sent me :D Wow, I can't wait to read this!

    It’s been a hope of many fans of the Buffyverse ever since “Buffy Season 8” kicked off, and now that hope is finally realized. Angel gets to continue fictional life (or is that undeath?) in comic form at IDW with Angel: After the Fall. The man tapped for the writing chores by creator Joss Whedon himself will already be familiar to fans of Angel-related comics: he’s Brian Lynch, the writer of Spike: Asylum and Spike: Shadow Puppets. We’ve spoken to Lynch, and he delivers as much as he can from behind the cloak of secrecy (and pesky Wolfram and Hart contracts).

    Newsarama: You'll be working on Angel: After the Fall; how did you get involved with the project?

    Brian Lynch: I wrote a comic called Spike: Asylum, based on a character from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel named, of course, Asylum. Literally the day before issue 1 came out I ran into Joss at breakfast and told him what a huge fan I was and told him that the comic book was coming out. He said he'd check it out, and hurried away before his people tackled me and made me sign certain documents saying I would never come within fifty yards of him again.

    A few weeks went by and IDW Editor in Chief Christopher "Chris" Ryall sent an e-mail telling me to call him and I did and Chris proceeded to read this very complementary, somewhat life-changing e-mail from Mr. Whedon saying that he enjoyed Spike: Asylum and thinks that maybe the time is right to officially continue the Angel story and that I would be the guy to write it.

    We traded e-mails back and forth for a while and eventually met up for breakfast and he told me all his ideas and I told him the one I had ("Angel should fight monsters!") and then I put some of the ideas to paper, slowly the story's spine started to form, I'd send him an e-mail with more ideas, he'd send an e-mail back with even better ideas, it slowly but surely became the greatest story of all time and he was all "this is neat" and here we are.

    WOOHOO!!!!

    I was pissed off at that finale! I was like, I know you bitches didn't just waste an hour of my life! I saw them running, and then i saw them stop. Sound familiar? You get into the finale of a show, just for it to leave you with EVEN MORE unanswered questions? coughcoughcoughwhatthehellhappenedonsopranoscoughcoughcough

    anyone else reading After The Fall?

    if so, quick question... what is Angel now?

    did i miss something?

    At the end of Angel (TV series) he was a vampire... now he isn't?

    sorry, did i fall asleep and miss an episode, or miss an issue somewhere where he got his humanity back?

    Righ now there is no reason for Angel being mortal. It just happened. Its probally part of a bigger plot.
