Written by Brian Lynch and plotted with Joss Whedon, the series is a canonical continuation of the "Angel" television series, and follows the events of that show's final season.  "Angel: After the Fall" was prompted by IDW Publishing and Joss Whedon after the success of Dark Horse Comics' "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight" which is the official comic continuation of "Angel"'s mothershow, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".  "Angel: After the Fall" sees the heroic vampire, Angel, coping with the apocalyptic aftermath of the television series after he took over and subsequently betrayed the demonic law firm, Wolfram & Hart.  The city of Los Angeles has since been sent to hell by Wolfram & Hart as a result of Angel's actions.  The series follows his attempts to rescue the people he has sworn to protect.

Written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, and illustrated by Will Conrad, the first miniseries, "Those Left Behind", was created as a bridge between the events of the series and film.  "Those Left Behind" was popular: the first issue was the highest-selling comic published by Dark Horse Comics since the release of "Buffy Season 8" in 2007, while the trade paperback is still one of the highest ranking items by sale quantity from that company.  In early 2008, a second miniseries was released.  Titled "Better Days", it was set before "Those Left Behind", with the storyline based around a heist that went in the characters' favor.  In addition to the miniseries, a one-shot comic written by Jim Krueger and titled "The Other Half" was released in the August 2008 issue of "Dark Horse Presents".
