Angel, Volume 5: Aftermath (Kelly Armstrong) 2

I like the direction that the new storyline is taking, and I can even support narrowing the focus on fewer characters. However, the writer of these issues has absolutely no ear for how the characters speak. Even the few paltry instances of witty repartee have none of the impact Whedon fans have come to expect. Hopefully, the previous writers will be back for future issues, or at least exert some much needed influence on the dialog.
