A new creature introduced in this issue is a Changling. They are supposed to be a type of faerie. This one took revenge on an abusive husband by taking away his wife then impersonating her, punishing him be basically being a bitch to him, driving him insane.

Continuity

  1. The plot of this issue seems to fall sometime in season 1 after Lonely Hearts, since they know Kate, but before Hero, since Doyle is alive. Obviously it takes place after the Surrogates story of the last three issues as well.


Goofs

Trivia

The Morgue

  1. Anonymous vampire: By the docks, staked by Angel.

Points Of View

Mathew:

Okay, a quick and simple one shot story. So far they've done a good job keeping the story from conflicting with the television series, and this is no exception. The Changling came off as a bit evil, more interested in vengeance then justice, but I suppose it was meant to. I am a little worried about the, coming up with go many races outside humans and demons. First we see Lamia, not Faeries. What's next? Little Green men? Sadly the art has taken a step down, IMHO. I preferred the work of Christian Zanier.
