It was a closing assertion fairly than a cliffhanger although, underlining the sequence’ theme that the battle by no means ends and that your life is outlined by your every day decisions. It was such a beloved and controversial ending that many Angel followers have been nervous when it was introduced that Whedon paired with IDW to supervise the sequence’ official continuation as a comic book e book. However, author Brian Lynch labored when Whedon to show the sequence into an epic and character-driven climax that was worthy of following the sequence’ phenomenal ending. While the sequence was largely drawn by the late and nice Franco Urru, there was a sequence of particular brief tales in the second arc that stuffed in the house between the Angel finale and Angel: After the Fall #1 that featured different artists. One of these artists was John Byrne, the comics vet, who illustrated a lyrical story about Lorne. These unique Byrne pages are up at Heritage Auctions and what makes these exceptionally particular is that the lettering was drawn into the artwork.
