[edit] 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.
