Given the degree to which the comics have sucked donkey balls (infected donkey balls), LEAVE IT!!!
The last Angel comic series was pretty good, but then Joss wrote it, IIRC.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I like comics. But I don't want canon of this magnitude resolved on paper. I trust few with that sort of responsibility.
Want mine? Although I'm not sure I could find them. I think they got stashed somewhere about three rearranges ago, and I can't go through the heavy boxes at the moment. (I liked some of the 'verse comics, but the specific Buffy and Angel ones left me as cold or colder than the novelizations.)
If Tim were to dip into comics, I'd trust him with it.
I'm pretty certain he's the only one.

I haven't read the Joss-penned ones, having given up by then. How was the art? Improved over the mole Giles standards?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Angel was a nifty idea for Joss to have, but yeah. Tim's the man.

Mole Giles?
The artist didn't have a good handle on his bone structure. He looked like a mole.

Oh, and here I thought he drew him like he was covered in chocolate-chili sauce. But that would be mole' Giles then, wouldn't it?
it's what I thought when I first read it, honest

Different artist than the Buffy books. The art was fine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
What's sad is that same artist did the best job (IMO) on Buffy herself and Xander.
The Joss storyline was okay, kind of interesting, but it was pretty much representative of his Angel stories in general. The genius light was off under a bushel somewhere.
I think any post-finale stories, if they have to be written at all, should be Illyria-centric. It was the most likely to survive, and its not having contact with the others wouldn't necessarily reveal their final fates. Other characters that we know to have survived (like Lorne, Nina, Faith) would pretty much give away the ending by dint of their reactions to reminders of the team, but Illyria NSM.
