PLOT Two vamps are on their nightly hunt for food, and they spot two lovers in the park who they think will be the ideal feast. As the male is captured, the female runs off only to be pursued by the vampires. Cornered and alone it looks like she will be their next victim, until something rises from the ground taking one of the vampires with it, a being known as the Hollower. Several months later in Sunnydale, Buffy and Angel are battling an evil demon, unknown to them they are being watched. They head in to check with Giles, and while Buffy goes home, Angel goes out and gets cornered by the vampire girl who we saw in San Francisco. We then learn that the two have a past, and that along with Spike and Dru they were quite a foursome. But now with news of the Hollower's return, Angel must decide whether to work with his lover's enemies, or face the consequences... ART Hector Gomez finally proves her can draw, well at least Angel and Giles. The rest of the characters are up to his usual (bad) standard, but for once the dark and moody setting work well with the story, adding to the atmosphere.
STORY Chris Golden is also up to his usual standard, and the story kicks off at an exciting pace, but whether the next two parts will be able to keep it up is unknown at present. OVERALL Not as good at THE ORIGIN mini-series so far, but for something drawn by Hector Gomez it's probably the best issue of his to date, so go and pick it up already! BACK TO THE TOP |
