Super Spoilers for Angel: After the Fall #13

Cordy: Saw it coming, but still sad.Gwen: Good for her! (Bad for her?)Spike: Growing in leaps and bounds the last two issues to a point where I actually like him. I didn’t understand his resurrection until I came here but it makes perfect sense.Gunn killing Fred: Brilliant. What a great way to not explain if it really was her and keep everyone happy. Kill Fred again, and have Gunn do it. Now, the puzzle cover and the tentacle cover make more sense, too. Without Fred for
Illyria to revert back to… Uh oh!
Illyria being the key: Totally not Wolfram & Hart giving Gunn the visions if that’s the case. I said it before, but couldn’t the Powers That Be be using Gunn in the same way Wolfram & Hart are using Wesley and Angel (and everyone else)?

Connor: Man, what a way to take the most hated Angel character ever and make him awesome.

Cordelia: Glad to see they were using her sparingly.

Angel: Taking a back seat but in a good way—to let others shine. 

And a quick survey:1. Favorite character
Gunn was fantastic in this issue.
2. Favorite surprise
Gunn killing Fred. That worked out perfectly.
3. Least favorite surprise
The fake out Spike death being peppered in with the real deaths.
5. Favorite line of dialogue and/or single line of dialogue
Man, there’s no way to pick
6. Least favorite line of dialogue
Hm… There were moments that Cordelia didn’t sound like Cordelia.
7. Favorite panel of art
Fred’s dead!?
8. Least favorite panel of art
 Maybe the big two page spread—wasn’t quite as epic as it was meant to be (though maybe I was spoiled with the last two page spread from issue 12).
9. Question you most want answered
What the hell is going on!? 

All in all: Great issue. It feels like this is the first step to the climax and I have no idea what’s coming! Man… I don’t even know what else to say.
