Angel

Angel Spotlight: Doyle

Before Angel hit L.A., there were plenty of demons around. One of them was named Doyle, a half-human, half-Brachen demon with personal problems galore. When Angel got to town, Doyle was entrusted by The-Powers-That-Be with guiding his quest for atonement-but with difficulties of his own to atone for, what made TPTB think he was the right, er... half-man for the job? Written by Angel novelist Jeff Mariotte (Angel: Old Friends) with art by his Angel: Old Friends partner David Messina. $3.99 * FC * 32 pages
