I stopped reading Angel ages ago when half the characters left (the characters I actually gave a crap about) and left me with only Angel, Connor and chicks that weren't really their characters and someone new that I didn't care about at all.
THIS.
We could explain to them 'til they're blue in the face, but I don't think the IDW staff will ever understand that we came to their comics to read about the further adventures of ALL THE MAJOR CHARACTERS FROM THE TV SHOW! That means Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, Fred, Spike, Lorne, and Angel, along with the canon peripheral characters such as Harmony, Connor, Illyria, etc. We did NOT come to read about substitute characters and OCs. Nor did we come to read about canon characters written out-of-character to suit IDW's adolescent male fantasies. IDW (and Dark Horse, too) changed the 'verse into something so different that it's completely unrecognizable -- and completely unacceptable.
