The art is beautiful, of course. It's well written. I just...I don't like where the story went. I don't like that everything about everyone has suddenly changed. Opening the portal to Hell in L.A., yeah it was bound to cause some issues. But if Season 6 would have happened, I know this is not how it would have went down (special effects budget notwithstanding). I can't connect to them. This isn't them. It's like metaverse Angel.
I'd say the first half was really dull, I put it down and read a few other books before coming back to finish this. The second half was much better, and really got the pace going, but overall it still seems that they are making the series more of a comedy than I remember the show being. Sure, I remember some of the humor of the show, but it seems much more pronounced in this collection.
