Spike

Spike is the vampire-with-a-soul and fan-favorite antihero from the Angel television universe, continuing his story in IDW's comic continuation Angel: After the Fall, where he fights alongside Angel and allies navigating the supernatural fallout of Los Angeles being sent to Hell.

Few characters carry themselves with quite as much swagger through the pages of IDW's Angel: After the Fall as Spike, who made his Modern Age comic debut in 2008 under the creative hands of Joss Whedon, Brian Lynch, and Franco Urru. Born out of the rich mythology of the Angel universe, he shares his adventures with a compelling roster including Angel, Illyria, Charles Gunn, Connor, and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce — serious company that speaks to the dramatic weight of the stories he inhabits. Across roughly fourteen years and appearances in Angel: After the Fall, Angel, and Angel: Not Fade Away, he proves a remarkably enduring presence in IDW's corner of this world. If you're diving into post-series Angel comics, Spike is one of the most compelling reasons to start turning pages.
