Eddie Hope

Eddie Hope is a former resident of Hell who escaped to Los Angeles with a hit list, determined to hunt down and punish humans who had sold their souls — a self-appointed, morally grey avenger operating in IDW's Buffyverse alongside Spike.

A creature of the Modern Age IDW universe, Eddie Hope made his debut in Spike: The Devil You Know #1 in 2010, brought to life by creator Franco Urru. He carves out his corner of the darker corners of that world, sharing pages with none other than Spike himself — which tells you something about the kind of morally complex, demon-haunted territory he inhabits. With appearances spanning both Spike: The Devil You Know and Angel, Eddie is one of those intriguing figures who threads through IDW's supernatural tapestry, small in number of appearances but clearly woven into stories that matter.
