Caroline's Reviews > Angel: Only Human

We get to see more of Charles Gunn's background when he encountered his first vampire and the beginnings of how he became the vampire hunter we first met in his first TV appearance on "Angel" and how this story explores the themes of Gunn's and Illyria's identity crisis following the previous events of Illyria's resurrection and the Fall of L.A and Gunn's brief stint as a soulless vampire back to human again.

An old villain makes a return appearance: The Scourge with the same goals as last time, wipes out humanity and Gunn/Illyria manages to stop them and a demon from Illyria's past.

The flashbacks were fun and interesting to see the parallels between the similar journeys that Gunn/Illyria was experiencing in present tense but it still felt like something was missing just can't put my finger on it.

Perhaps it's me wishing that the themes in this comic were explored further perhaps extending the story into a three-parter or something as it feels like Illyria is still very dismissive of Fred's legacy even though she's still trying to adapt to her new situation, "her humanity".
