Discussion of "Angel Aftermath #21" Release 20/05/2009 (IDW)

I'd say this was the best issue of Aftermath so far, but it was still pretty bad. Dialog was contrived and as others have commented about Armstrong's previous issues, she seems way more focused on creating her new characters and creating new and very different mythology than she cares about doing Joss' characters justice.

Agreed. Best Aftermath issue yet. I'm very pleased with the new artist. Although his style is still too cartoon-y, I think it does the characters more justice. Wasn't too keen on Cordelia appearing, I'd rather they keep her for the special occasions. I preferred her in After the Fall. I'm glad the story is coming together, I didn't see the connections between the different stories coming, but then again, I wasn't keeping as close an eye as I was when Brian was at the helm. I thought the role of the angels was just plain weird, divine beings hanging out at a gym? Please!

Anyway, I am excited to see the conclusion, if only so this chapter will be over.

The Cordelia thing was piss poor. If you aren't going to do it right, don't do it at all.

For someone with all his faults, Connor is being a bit OTT with Gwen imo.

Why was James on earth so long?

And the Elohim thing reminds me of Whistler/Pearl/Nash in Season 9.
