Book Description

Angel is in deep trouble as he tries to solve a case involving a demonic fertility clinic. Just why are mothers being murdered and husbands turned into zombie-like guards? With the help of his sidekicks, Cordelia and Doyle, Angel is hot on the trail of the woman who may be responsible for the homicidal mayhem. But Angel is about to find out that catching up with her is the last thing he wants to do! Surrogates collects the first three issues of the hit Angel monthly comic series and follows the vampire avenger as he turns L.A. upside down!

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Beginning, Nov 6 2002
This review is from: Angel Surrogates (Paperback)
The opening story of the Angel comic series was a three part story that was actually in production before the first episode of the Angel television series has been filmed. 'Surrogates' sported a Christopher Golden as writer, pencil and ink work by Christian Zanier and Andy Owens, and covers by Jeff Matsuda and Jon Sibal. The result remains one of the best efforts in the Angel series.

One of Doyle's visionary moments sends Angel to the home of Rita Carlson. This Rita and her husband were clients of an infertility clinic and were happily expecting when a sudden premature birth cost Rita the child. Note her husband has disappeared as well. When Angel investigates, he narrowly misses a fatal sunburn and discovers that an ancient evil is seeking to perpetuate itself. Cordy and Doyle provide vital aids, but it is Angel who must stop the threat.

Golden takes a few liberties with mythology, but the result is a complex and interesting story that reminds us that the bad guys have their reasons too. Zanier's artwork has a nice retro touch that that gives the graphics the appropriate noir touch. Coupled with his sense of composition and scene setting, the artwork is as satisfying as the story. All of this adds up to one of the best trade paperbacks done of the Angel comics, and a treat for all fans of the broody one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brooding and Battles, Feb 14 2001
By 
This review is from: Angel Surrogates (Paperback)
The art work in this graphic novel captures the dark brooding mood of Angel,the Television Series. A strong story line holds the reader's interest. Angel's battles with demons and zombies are beautiful. They ripple with action. The addition of flash backs to Angel past add to the enjoyment. As usual the Christopher Golden dialogue is excellent. It rings true to each character. If I have any complaint it's that Kate does not resemble her TV counter part. But she plays such a minor role that it is not bothersome. I recommend this book to graphic novel and Angel fans

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Addition for the Angel Fan, Mar 23 2008
By Jennifer Wardrip - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angel Surrogates (Paperback)
This actually wasn't what I expected, but it was pretty good anyway! It's not a paperback book but a comic, so if you're a fan of the show and comics/graphic novels, you'll enjoy this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Graphic SF Reader, Sep 3 2007
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angel Surrogates (Paperback)
A pretty reasonable first effort, given when this came out. Golden again demonstrates he knows what he is doing. The art is maybe a little inconsistent, but not for the Angel character. They did not have a lot to go on as far as background when this was written, so all in all, it is quite passable.
