Angel ascending, but there's more ...

Tales of the VampiresThe final episode of Joss Whedon's "Angel" TV series is coming up, but there's no need to feel abandoned by the undead hero. As Whedon preps an astonishing (get it? I'm sure you do) comics stint, we took a look at one of the Buffy-verse creator's comic book titles. Tales of the Vampires.

For those zealots who followed Buffy and Angel's every move, and who may consequently follow Rupert Giles in the BBC's possible Watcher series, the comic offers interesting looks at events and characters never explored in either show. And the book, like the shows, also follows different storylines with vignettes from various writers.

For example, one story examines how the watchers are chosen at a very early age and instructed on how the world works (well, the world we don't see), what to do to fight it, and what their roles will be. Mentoring watchers take a group of children to interact with a captive vampire. Another storyline revisits Dracula, and explains how he's taken control of Xander (Buffy's right hand man), and how/if she gets him back.

Interesting for those interested. And there's lots.
