Synopsis
The Short: In Los Angeles, things aren't always what they seem. Angel

about to learn that firsthand.

Creature Feature
A new creature introduced in this issue is a Changling. They are supposed to
be a type of faerie. This one took revenge on an abusive husband by taking
away his wife then impersonating her, punishing him be basically being a
bitch to him, driving him insane. It was a shapeshifter, but it's natural
form seemed to be an elongated humanoid one with no hair and insect-like
wings.

Continuity
- The plot of this issue seems to fall sometime in season 1 after Lonely Hearts, since they know Kate, but before Hero, since Doyle is alive. Obviously it takes
place after the Surrogates story of the last three issues as well.

Points Of View
Mathew:
Okay, a quick and simple one shot story. So far they've done a good
job keeping the story from conflicting with the television series,
and this is no exception. The Changling came off as a bit evil, more
interested in vengeance then justice, but I suppose it was meant to.
I am a little worried about the, coming up with go many races outside
humans and demons. First we see Lamia, not Faeries. What's next? Little
Green men? Sadly the art has taken a step down, IMHO. I preferred the
work of Christian Zanier.
