Willingham to write 'Angel'

Bill Willingham will join the writing team of IDW publishing's Angel: After the Fall, it was announced at San Diego's Comic-Con International.

The Fables writer will take over as of issue #28, with a monthly supporting feature from Bill Williams.

Willingham's story arc will feature Angel's son Connor as the main protagonist, with a legion of demons at his command.

"We're going to have some fun with Angel and pick up where Brian [Lynch] and the others left off. No big changes, well, we're kicking Angel off the book, but no big changes," said Willingham at Comic-Con's Angel panel.

Brian Denham and David Messina will provide art during Willingham and Williams' run.

After the Fall continues the story of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff after the abrupt end of its fifth season on television.
