Angel

I’m not really sure how this happens, but apparently Diamond is already soliciting a new printing of the yet to be released Angel After the Fall #1 from IDW.

The book is due in stores by the end of the month and I guess they’ve already printed the issue for release. The only thing I can figure is that retailers have been upping there initial orders and have already bought up the initial print run even before it’s release.

Anyway, I thought this was interest and figured I pass the info alone. Anyone planning on picking copies up might want to do it when it is released instead of waiting.

For those interested in ordering the new printing as well, the order code is: SEP078061.

Here is the official preview description for those you may not be aware of the series.

* Angel: After the Fall

THIS IS IT! The official continuation of the ANGEL series! When last we saw Angel and company, they were charging into battle against Wolfram and Hart’s Senior Partners and facing down endless demons in a dark and rainy alleyway.

Now, IDW Publishing is proud to present the story of Angel: After the Fall, as presented by Angel co-creator Joss Whedon, with a creative team hand-picked by Whedon himself, the Spike: Shadow Puppets team of Brian Lynch and Franco Urru.

Picking up where Season Five of the fan-favorite TV show ended, the first issue in this maxi-series looks at who lived after that climactic battle, who died, and what happened to all of Los Angeles in its wake.

"Angel and his friends took a stand because he thought it was the right thing to do. They fought the good fight even though they were probably going to lose, even though they were facing insurmountable odds," says Lynch. "But that’s the thing about insurmountable odds...surmounting them can be quite a witch. The series begins to tackle the fall-out of Angel’s stand, and what it cost everyone near, around, and close to him."

Acclaimed artist Tony Harris (Ex Machina) and Urru provide special covers for each issue of this momentous series. Issue 1 features a full 27 pages of story and art!
