The show closed out with everybody fighting. Joss never said that they were all dead at the end. Only Wes, Lindsey, and in ten minutes, Gunn. Gunn was supposed to become a vamp in the tv movies that never happened. Still dead, technically, but now a villain. The futures of the others would be told when Joss was ready to tell it.

I love the entire Wes arc, too. But, much in the way Jane Espenson is about Jonathan, I will always have the tiniest bit of hope that there's a way to bring him back without ruining the impact of what has already happened. The gang tried to bring Fred back but couldn't only because her soul was gone as well. I think it's safe to say that the way Wes died didn't harm his soul.

I think someone should at least try, although I think it'd be more interesting if it were Illyria or Virginia than Wes's dad.

Joss had said at Whedonesque that he was impressed with Brian Lynch's Spike: Asylum series for IDW and thought Lynch could handle the canon Ats S6...
and then Brian Lynch posted at Whedonesque saying it was early days but they were talking to the publisher.
And NOW we have this from the publisher:
http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=105502
which says that Joss is co-writing (probably giving his ideas to Lynch to flesh out?)

I agree that the final episode of Angel's S5 did not mean that everyone dies, it means that they get no rest. Even if they survive this fight then there is another fight, and another after that....

It is a different ending from Buffy's season 7 which implied that she HAD earned a rest!

But I don't think any of it ever means that all the stories are done and there are no more to tell.... We know that Joss had wanted a 6th season for Angel, and that that show only ended because it was canceled.

Anyway I am thrilled and happy about this prospect!

I always thought it was a strong possibility (hence my previous post from a couple of months ago), but to have it now confirmed from 3 sources?!

Excited doesn't begin to cover it. I'm over the moon. I feel like I could actually throw up. I love these characters!!!

I'm using midtowncomics.com, who I really recommend. Their S&H is a little high ($4.75 being the cheapest option), but it's hard to beat their service. Between the one issue of the "Serenity" series I got from them, the first two Dark Towers, and the first Buffy, everything has arrived two days after I ordered it, even having opted for the cheapest shipping (tho the fact that the packages are going from New York to New England probably has something to do with that).

I've heard TFAW can be pretty slow, which is why I haven't gone with them.

And one place to ABSOLUTELY avoid at all costs is silverbulletcomics.com. Got one of the three Serenity's from them before I discovered midtown. Ordered it about the time the issue was released. Three weeks went by. Nothing. Tried to contact them to get an update. No answer to the e-mails. Finally sent an e-mail asking to CANCEL the order, only to get a response back a day or two later: "You wanna cancel? Gee, I suppose we could do that, but it'd be tough at this point--your order's being prepped for shipping right now. Why would you wanna cancel?" Angry gnashing of teeth, then just a frustrated sigh. "You know what, fine: just send it, then." So they do. And sent me the wrong frickin' cover variant.

Groo: Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I've already preordered #2, #3, & #4 from TFAW. It's likely that when I'm finally able to read #1, I will be changing the shipping for #2. If I'm impressed in the difference, I'll keep it. If not, I'll change #3 & #4 to the site you suggested.

Thanks again!

I just want my favourite team back to see how they are getting on. I'm really hoping Gun is Alive and well with the whole eyepatch thing he spoted in Old Friends.

Cause without Gunn all the humans are out of Team Angel.

I think this may have been posted before on this thread, but here goes just in case.

This is a spoiler regarding Gunn for the tv movies that never happened. It may or may not happen in the upcoming comics.

Select to view spoiler:

Gunn was, and maybe is, supposed to become a vampire.

Don't know about the comic you mentioned, but I think the only ones considered canon are the ones Joss is planning.

I also remember hearing somewhere that

Select to view spoiler:

they wanted to bring back Oz for Angel season 6.

However, since now Buffy's being continued, I'm wondering if they'll just send him over there instead?

Wow...I don't remember hearing that before. I can't imagine what would've happened there. Would Jenny (Edit:Mollen, who played Nina. I realized it sounded like I was confusing her real name and character name ) have still been around? You know how he gets around she-wolves . Then again it has been said that they decided to "revamp" the way the wolves look because someone (or several someones) commented that Oz looked like a gay possum. Probably wouldn't've worked out .

they completely reworked Oz's look from Phases, so I don't think they would've had a problem doing it again. Honestly, it looked a lot better... Not a friggen gorrilla...
