Trivia

Mel Rubi also penned comics such as Witchblade, Aliens, Darkness, and Predator: Mindhunter.
Promoted as "Angel retooled and reinvented" by Dark Horse, the storyline represents an attempt to make Angel a comic-book hero in a more traditional sense, battling against huge behemoths of monsters.
These were the final Angel comics until IDW began publishing them in 2005.

Continuity

Supposed to be set early in Angel Season 2.

Canonical issues

Joss Whedon co-wrote the story for this comic, so it is largely accepted as 'canon' by fans.
