I own the individual comics for this series and I have to say this was an interesting little glimpse into Angel's past. It seems that all this side stories and short little arcs are all much more interesting than IDW's ongoing Angel title.
Beautifully illustrated, and a good story for a small graphic novel. Would have been interesting to see how it was handled with more pages.
Very odd
A flimsy story about Angel's visit to San Francisco in the early 1900s that adds nothing to the established lore of the character. To make matters worse, it also is abysmally drawn.
