Angel & Faith: A Little More Than Kin by Victor GischlerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
For those who are also a fan of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics, this volume crosses over nicely with Season 10 Volume 4 of that series. Angel gets an SOS signal from his friends in California and has to go and fight a demon. Faith and Fred, the faithful women of Angel's life, therefore have to hold the fort in magic town, England. Their duties take them to an undercover assignment trying to find and stop vampires at a private high school, with Faith as a Gym Teacher (Those Who Can't Teach Teach Gym is an issue title) and Fred as a lunch lady. As someone who teaches at a private K12 school, I appreciated the prep school drama and the humorous aspects of school life, along with the frightening aspects of the adolescent years. The reader also gets a glimpse of what is happening to Buffy, Spike, Willow, and friends back in California, which is fun. Fred starts to get stronger in this issue and better able to fight her Illyria demons, which is encouraging to see.
