I think I bought the first four/five "Season 8" volumes before losing interest, though what really killed it for me was the first few volumes of the parallel Angel "After the Fall" series: assorted havoc occurs (including "Gunn got vamped and evil oh snap"), and then suddenly again with the plot device of "And then their reward was a reboot so none of the past N episodes/seasons really happened." :b
I actually liked After the Fall, reset notwithstanding. It was worth reading for the interaction between Connor and Angel alone. Their relationship was one of the main factors that hooked me for the last three seasons of the show and the comic offered major payoff on that front.
It’s not without flaws, but it just seems to fit with its TV counterpart better than Season 8 does. Maybe it’s because some of the major elements (Vamp!Gunn, post-apocalyptic LA) were on the docket for season 6 of AtS before the show got cancelled, so it isn’t as much of a stretch to picture After the Fall as the next step.
