You know that Darla quote from Season 1? "Do you know what the saddest thing in the world is? To love someone who used to love you." That's pretty much how I feel about the IDW comics. What the hell happened, comics?! You used to be at least decent reads even if not exactly adhering to canon! Sweet merciful Christ, the Spike comics are starting to make "Spike vs. Dracula" look like fucking Shakespeare. Kelley Armstrong's arc ruined everything after ATF. From the get-go Aftermath was just awful. Angel, the ultimate lapsed-lapsed-relapsed-lapsed Catholic vampire, moves into a fucking church?! Not just any church, but a cathedral with stained glass and everything that even a boatload of guilt and a century with a soul hasn't stopped Angel from hating. Even souled, Angel is kinda remorseless for attacking the Church (not to mention not having a hell of a lot of remorse for killing his own family), so him moving into one just does not jibe. Of course, him having sex in a three-way with Kate and that wretched Panther Girl while under the influence of Illyria's suddenly completely and totally female sex hormones didn't jibe either.
Wow! That sounds fucked up! I am so glad I decided not to read these comics.
