Angel #4

In "Long Night's Journey, Part 4: The End of the Beginning," Angel faces a harrowing revelation as Zheng reveals the true purpose behind the gypsy curse—testing whether a soul could be bound to a vampire, only for the experiment to fail on Zheng himself. With Gunn's timely rescue and Zheng’s apparent demise in an explosion, the stakes have never felt higher. Written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, with bold art by Mel Rubi and inks by Chris Dreier, this pivotal issue deepens the mystery of Angel’s soul and the gypsies’ twisted design. The cover by Mel Rubi and Chris Dreier captures the moment’s intensity, a 2.99 USD (4.99 CAD) entry in Dark Horse’s 2002 run.
