Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s first love will receive a solo series and a “re-vamped” creative team in the twelve issue series Angel Season 11 from Dark Horse Comics.

Corinna Bechko (Lara Croft, Star Wars: Legacy II) writes Season 11 while Geraldo Borges (Deadpool, Ghost) draws the series, and Michelle Madsen (Buffy Season 9, Angel & Faith Season 10) colours the issues. Scott Fischer (Angel & Faith Season 10, Buffy: The High School Years) and Jeff Dekal (Journey into Mystery, Dark Horse Presents) both created covers.

Angel Season 11 finds Angel being tormented by memories of his past. His visions link his dark past to a Big Bad coming in the future. The goddess Illyria intervenes and assists Angel as he discovers that it might be possible to change the future by traveling back in time to change the past.

“I’m thrilled that I’ll be helping to add to a little corner of the Whedonverse, a rich and exciting place that contains infinite possibilities for exploration,” enthuses Corinna. “Of course, the fact that I’ll be doing so with Angel, one of the most complex and interesting characters, means I have big shoes to fill. But I can’t wait to spend some quality time with him during this journey, and to have a bit of fun along the way!”

• The first issue of Angel Season 11 goes on sale 18th January 2017 – the day before Buffy’s birthday!
