Angel & Faith: (1) Live Through This
Angel & Faith: (1) Live Through This
It’s been too long since I’ve
read anything and since I had just finished my review of Buffy: Freefall but couldn’t manage to find my copy of Buffy: On Your Own from wherever it
decided to hide itself on my laptop, I decided on the next best thing: Angel & Faith. One issue, I promised
myself. Yeah, right. I finished the whole arc, went to bed at three in the
morning and felt like crap when I woke up. But it was worth it and I’m going to
tell you why.
Something is making its way
across London, making people crazy and lash out at the people around them with
devastating consequences. In the course of his bring-Giles-back-to-life
mission, Angel has been poring over the Watcher’s journals and thinks he knows
who the culprit is. The Lorophage demon feeds on the trauma of others to the
point of death, but there have been rare reported cases of the Lorophage being
interrupted in its feeding process, with the victim merely becoming insane –
Giles was one such victim. There must be something controlling the Lorophage in
order for it to be leaving this many victims alive, and whatever it is, it must
be pretty damn powerful …
