After the Fall, Part Thirteen is the thirteenth issue of the After the Fall comic book series. Written by Brian Lynch with Joss Whedon and illustrated by Stephen Mooney, it was originally published on October 22, 2008, by IDW Publishing.

Synopsis[]

Gunn wants to save Los Angeles. Angel will do anything to stop him. Plus, someone makes Wesley an offer he can't refuse... even if it means certain doom for everyone around him. Revelations, surprises, and battles to the death, in the lucky 13th issue of the official continuation of the Angel series.[1]

Summary[]

Spike finds Gunn's captured Slayers, but they overpower him and he is slain.

The Senior Partners send a legion of dragons to the scene of the rooftop fray, and Cordelia the dragon is killed. Gwen, seeking atonement, sacrifices herself to destroy the legion in an electrical discharge. Connor makes his way into the building and defeats Gunn in combat, kicking him through the window.

Connor's pleads to a dying Angel and helps him realize that he would never become a soulless vampire again; Cordelia bids Angel farewell after reassuring him of his status as a Champion of good. While the group desperately encourage Angel to keep fighting and survive, Spike re-emerges seemingly alive, accompanied by the three Slayers who killed him.

Gunn, on the streets, encounters Illyria and, through feigning sadness and remorse, triggers her transformation into Fred, before he surreptitiously shoots her in the chest.
