Finally — something that we “Buffy” and “Angel” fanatics have always wanted! I can’t wait to download and read these issues. I’ve always wanted to see how the story continued, but I didn’t want to do so until the digital versions were released.
Thank you to Dark Horse!
I don’t see Angel & Faith at Digital Dark Horse…Am I misunderstanding this article? Doesn’t it say you can get Angel & Faith, Buffy Season 8 and Buffy Season 9?
P.S. I just moved to a city where the nearest Comic Book Store is a good half hour walk away (I don’t have a vehicle) So I’m VERY happy Joss comics are available for Digital Download now! I don’t know why it wasn’t done sooner!
so cool !! love vampire stories ..looking forward to it
