Fans of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer season eight comic book series are going to love this. The Geeky Girls hear that graphic novel publishers IDW Publishing are set to explore the past of everyone's favourite tortured hero, Angel.The three-issue miniseries, Angel: Barbary Coast, will be set at the beginning of the 20th century and will see the vampire with a soul take desperate measures to rid himself of his gypsy curse.
"Barbary Coast is set in 1906, so Angel's really only been in America a short time," revealed writer David Tischman.
"He's still dealing with this whole 'soul' thing. He's not happy about it, and he'd do anything to get rid of it. If there's one thing I know, it's guilt - not a pleasant thing.
"So this is not Angel the good guy, or even Angel the tortured vampire - this is a pissed-off Angel who's doing what he needs to do to get what he needs. That's what attracted me to this story, and he's been fun to write because of that."
The first issue of the series is set to be released in April.
