Refurbished with a shiny new title boasting two vamps for the price of one, Angel morphs into Angel & Spike in its ninth issue, ensuring Joss Whedon’s favorite bumpy forehead do-gooders are getting equal page time for fans of both characters alike.

Issue 9 of Angel (and now Spike) introduces a TV favourite character into BOOM’s Buffyverse: Kate Lockley. The detective is trying to help a reluctant youth when they are attacked by a supernatural creature. With no-where else to turn, and with a little nudging, Kate turns to Angel Investigations for help.
