Angel & Faith Season 10 kicks off in London. Magic Town to be precise. You see, last season, Angel & Faith saved London from a magical virus, but it caused the part of Lodon where everything happened to be transformed. Everybody that lives here has magical abilities or are monsters. Angel being Angel, he stays to try and clean up his mess. He’s the sheriff of these hear parts now. Where’s Faith? She’s in America with Giles (the newly resurrected one who is still a kid) and is hanging out with Kennedy (Willow’s ex and part of Deepscan).
Much like what is going on over in the Buffy comic, magic is a little wonky. Things just don’t work very well. On top of that, Angel is having some problems with the pixies, who are wanting to run magic town. They go to great lengths to send him a message, one that he receives all too well. Faith, is busy crossing over with Buffy and has taken Giles with her. The reunion between Giles and Buffy seems to cause Faith to make a decision she had decided against making, which I’m curious to see how it ends up. Meanwhile, Angel ends up running into another Slayer with whom he has a checkered relationship.
Victor Gischler takes over writing duties from Christos Gage, who wrote Season 9 and Will Conrad is now providing art with Rebekah Isaacs moving over to the main Buffy title. Conrad does a great job capturing the likenesses of the characters, something that is imperative with a licensed comic. I really like where the story is going here and Gischler has done a great job of setting up the arc for Season 10.
For fans of the Buffy and Angel TV shows that have never read the comics, Angel & Faith will fit like your favorite pair of jeans. You know these characters, and while they have changed, it isn’t so drastic as to confuse. You can immediately follow what is going on and enjoy it.
