LOS ANGELES, CA (May 2, 2019)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios, in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, along with visionary writer and director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Marvel\u2019s The Avengers<\/em>), today revealed a first look at\u00a0ANGEL #1<\/strong>, written by Bryan Hill (Detective Comics, Killmonger<\/em>) with art from Gleb Melnikov \u00a0(Saban\u2019s Go Go Power Rangers<\/em>), with the appearance of old faces from Angel\u2019s past and new threats in his future, available in stores May 29, 2019.<\/p>\n

Meet Angelus, leader of an army of brutal vampire warriors terrorizing the land, hungry for power and thirsty for blood as he invades villages and takes innocent people past the point of no return. Several centuries later, Angel spends his time protecting humanity from the monsters that lurk in the dark in an attempt to redeem himself for the crimes committed by the monster he was when he was first turned. It may be that he\u2019s too late to save his humanity and his soul but he\u2019s lost too many people in his ongoing fight against the forces of evil, and he\u2019s finally ready to find a solution to his tortured existence as a vampire with a conscience. When his path leads him to an old friend in Sunnydale, sparks will fly and demons will clash as Angel\u2019s search takes him ever closer to the person who could end his quest before it\u2019s even begun\u2014the Chosen One, Buffy Summers.<\/p>\n

ANGEL #1<\/strong>\u00a0features a main cover by artist Dan Panosian (Slots, Batman: Arkham Knight<\/em>) and variant covers by artists Scott Buoncristiano (Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>), Boris Pelcer (Angel<\/em>), and Jonathan Case (Firefly<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Created by visionary writer and director Joss Whedon (Marvel\u2019s The Avengers\u00a0<\/em>film franchise),\u00a0Angel\u00a0<\/em>premiered on the WB Network on October 5th, 1999 and was a spin-off from\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em>. The series ran for five seasons from 1999-2004, starring David Boreanaz as \u201cAngel,\u201d the tortured vampire destined to walk the earth with a soul who moved to LA to set up shop as a supernatural private investigator. Despite Angel\u2019s best efforts to deal with the sins of his past all by himself, Angel Investigations soon became home to other lost souls searching for redemption and willing to fight by his side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe centuries weigh heavy on Angel, especially after everything he\u2019s done and all he\u2019s endured. But is there any way for him to truly leave the past behind him? Does his fight against the forces of evil in the present make up for the horrible choices he made in the past and can saving a life now replace the lives he took then?\u201d said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cBryan and Gleb are really digging deep into Angel\u2019s past and challenging what redemption can look like, especially now, when our actions are recorded and preserved forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including\u00a0Once & Future\u00a0<\/em>by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora;\u00a0Faithless\u00a0<\/em>by Brian Azzarello and Maria Llovet;\u00a0Abbott\u00a0<\/em>from Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivel\u00e4;\u00a0Bury The Lede<\/em>\u00a0from Gaby Dunn and Claire Roe;\u00a0Grass Kings<\/em>\u00a0from Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins; and\u00a0Klaus\u00a0<\/em>from Grant Morrison and Dan Mora.
