This was really disjointed and just not very good.

Solid ending to the story arc, although some bits were confusing. As expected there were numerous sacrifices made, and in the end there is still an opening left for the story to continue.

If this is the general direction that a potential season six would've gone, then it would've been a spectcular finale. While I'm interested to read more Buffyverse comics, I feel like After the Fall at least gives me a sense of closure to one side of coin if I decided to not read anymore. I at least have my Angel ending.

Started out a bit clunkier than previous volumes, but had an excellent payoff. My only complaint is how Gunn was written - just couldn't hear his voice like I could the others'.

The ultimate showdown: more dragons, a Pegasus, sword fighting, a telepathic floating fish, and a T-Rex!
Illustrating, is Frank Urru, same artist from the first two volumes and Spike:After the Fall. He does a fine job but, after seeing Nick Runge's illustrations in volume three, it's hard not to be disappointed. Urru's versions of the characters are not as detailed as Runge's and are sometimes difficult to recognize.
Then there's the ending. Wow. I can't say much without spoilers, but suffice to say I felt cheated. It is not a total who-shot-JR-ending (man, my references are getting old), but it does create an epic build-up only to fall flat. However, I am grateful to have Angel back in the real world. Hopefully, this will lead to issues and conflicts more reminiscent of the television show.
I recommend this volume to anyone who has read Angel: After the Fall volumes 1-3 or anyone interested in reading Angel & Faith or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics. This volume concludes After the Fall, and is the start of some massive changes in the Buffyverse.

The jet fighter magic dragon things really broke my sense of disbelieve. They really really screwed up the whole comic for me.

This conclusion to the After the Fall series is pretty good. There is a resolution to the various storylines that have been weaving there way through the book. The ending leaves this open for more Angel stories, but at the same time, there is a finality to it that is warm and fuzzy. Worth picking up.
