Angel #1 Cover A by David Nakayama launches Dynamite Entertainment's highly anticipated Buffyverse relaunch, written by Kelly Thompson with interior art by Giulia Giacomino. This extra-sized premiere issue reintroduces Angel, once the terrifying vampire Angelus, cursed with the return of his soul and driven to Sunnydale, where a star-crossed romance with Buffy Summers reshaped his fate before he built a new life in Los Angeles as a supernatural detective helping the helpless.

Thompson's script marks the first appearance of Buffy and Angel's new adversary, Leviathan, setting the stage for a fresh chapter in the Buffyverse mythology. As the solicit puts it, things don't always go according to plan, and sometimes you do have to go home again. At 48 pages, this premiere includes bonus story content and a special sketchbook section, giving fans an oversized introduction to the relaunched series.

David Nakayama's Cover A captures Angel walking through flames with demonic yellow eyes glowing behind him, a moody, atmospheric image that sets the tone for the series' dark supernatural stakes. A must for Buffyverse collectors, Kelly Thompson readers, and fans following Dynamite's expanding line of Whedonverse titles. Reserve your copy of this extra-sized series premiere before it sells out.
