Good news!

No surgery! WOOHOO!
The infection count (and I'm not sure exactly what they were counting - and it wasn't WBC as I thought it was) was down by 70% already. It was still abnormally high but the fact that it had dropped so much and I was pain-free meant the doctor was happy - as was I!

I even got medication for the nausea which is a common side-effect of Metrogyl. (Double) WOOHOO!

Angel cover, Spike cover and NEW Angel series - TWO of them!

Great news from Comic Book Resources - two, yes, you read right, TWO - new Angel series will be coming from IDW, once ATF is done.

The first series will be Angel: Aftermath (coming in 2009) "which will further continue Angel's struggles". The second series is Angel: Blood and Trenches (also coming in 2009) "about Angel's exploits during World War I". Despite what the article says, Lynch has confirmed that he won't be writing it. That's a shame because I have enjoyed ATF so far. No word about who is writing or drawing it yet, though.

Covers for AtS: ATF #14 and Spike: ATF#4
