Not necessarily: I wonder if the main part of it was to start a fight
between the demon lords, by suggesting that one of their number had
killed another. If Spike and Angel killed each other, bonus; but I
think (from the earlier issue) he's actually got a much bigger plan
for Angel.

Brian Lynch confirmed on the IDW forum that the shark demon really is
the same guy from 'Tabula Rasa' - and explained his choice by saying
that he's the Lord in charge of Santa Monica, where Connor is based.
If you start to question how Connor could be operating so successfully
without being smacked down by the local Lord, the answer is right
there. The local Lord is a bit crap. :-)

I liked that he openly addressed the Buffy Question; I wish Dark Horse
would have taken the same approach to the Angel and Spike Question in
S8...

True; but I can't help thinking that this can't be permanent, unless
After The Fall really is the last thing ever to be written about Angel
"Angel: The human with a soul, just like all other humans have" really
isn't a catchy title for am ongoing show. :-)
