Another example of one which would be great for a Buffy comic, but not so great when compared to other Angel comics. I did like this one a lot. It had some great moments throughout. I liked the Wes part, but I think it might have been better if instead of having that being a fake life created by W&H, it was a dream and he woke up to find out that he was dead and had to work for W&H. It is a minor change, sure, but it would have felt like a much better bridge between the final fight and the hell world that he had to live in as a ghost.
Also, I don't really care for Kate too much, didn't really care that she left, but I'm interested in seeing what role she'll have in the future.
Also, I'm starting to think that the fish will end up having a bigger role itself in the future. So far he's been more of a comic relief character, but he seems to be more important now. And not just because he's used as a way to tie these stories together.
Overall, I really liked this one a lot, but not my favorite Angel comic. 3 stars
Hurley (listening to a radio transmission): You hear how clear that is? That's gotta be close, right?
Sayid: Radio waves at this frequency bounce off the ionosphere. They can travel thousands of miles. It could be coming from anywhere.
Hurley: Or any time... Just kidding, dude.
Ben: I was told a lot of things, too, that I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Ben: Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen, because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.
Sayid (about Ben): Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would've sold my soul.
