Connor is in great danger because Angel killed the son of a ruling Lord of Los Angeles. Angel is forced to use a magic book to heal himself (looks like the Book of the Dead), since we learned last issue that he’s human again. He hasn’t seen Gunn for a long time and he knows he’s probably in danger. So, Angel and Wesley go to meet Lorne (Lord of Silver Lake) and get a bit of assistance to prepare them for the big fight that looming. Gunn tries to get inside Wolfram & Hart to retrieve something that he wants but does not need. Sorry for being so vague, but this is very cryptic. Giving up on the search, Gunn and his gang destroy the remains of W&H, along with whatever held Wesley’s spirit!
I wouldn’t recommend this book for non-fans of the TV series – it just has too many references to it. While there isn’t much action happening this issue, we do get a lot of character development and the return of Lorne, which I consider one of the weakest characters of the series. (Grade: C+)
