spin-off starꦗ is going Hollywood in a new comic book from Boom! Studios, written by Christopher Cantwell with art from Daniel Bayli꧋ss. Colorist Patricio Delpeche and letterer Becca Carey round out the creative team.
The eight-issue limited series, simply titled Angel𝓀, sends the titular antihero to Los Angeles to become a TV star - but even farther than a move to Los Angeles, the story actually takes place in a totally alternate reality where Angel is the star of a show called Detective Angel alongside who else but Cordelia.
But Angel and Cordelia aren't just TV stars in this new reality, which also brings in other Buffy-verse characters in new 'Variant'-esque versions of themselves. They spend th𓆏eir free time as actual monster hunters, setting out on the trail of an "unexpected and mysterious world," and a supernatural threat unlike anything he's ever faced.
"I love writing character ensemble stories, stories about seemingly random individuals who suddenly find themselves trapped🗹 in the orbits of others. Angel has one of the best ensembles to ever grace the TV screen, and theirs is a story about a family of choice," Cantwell states in the announcement.
"When Boom! approached me, I leaped at the chance to honor and celebrate the original series in a fresh way, pulling on some loose threads and weaving new ones," he continues. "It takes all the characters and plays 52 card pick-up with them, reshuffling their roles and identities into a literal alternate universe that looks and feels like Angel, but is⭕ also something else entirely."
Cantwell is uniquely poised to take on a meta-TV-comic book mash-upꩵ story, 💎as the current writer of Marvel's , as well as the former TV showrunner of the AMC period drama , and current showrunner of Amazon Prime's adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang's Image Comics title .
Angel #1 is due out in January. In the meantime, here's a gallery of ⛎covers and interior pages:
