(SPOILER) Positive review of Angel: The Curse comic. Angel: The Curse is one of Newsarama's picks of the week. Minor spoilers concerning the set-up.

The review is just past the reviews of Runaways and the Green Lantern.

Okies, I'm going to have to admit it. The first issue of Angel: The Curse, didn't impress me... at all.

In fact I think it suffered the same problem the old Buffy/Angel comics did, I can't believe that these events would happen in the Angel continuity.

Angel helping the gypsi resistance fight against their oppresor Corneliy Brasov, a evil warlord who has an army of vampires... I just don't quite buy it.

I like the "getting the curse removed" idea, and I liked the flashbacks, but that's about it.

I thought they did an OK job with Angel's voice, but it sounds a bit too much like a writer describing Angel's character than the character actually speaking.

But hey, it has potential and the art is pretty good. It was worth 5 bucks canadian, I hope the series improves.

If only I could bloody well find the comic somewhere..... I could always wait for the trade I suppose.
