So this is Angel from the future, or at least from 'a' future -- one where 'we' lost the war.
Why does it have to be 'the future' Maggie? King's theory of an alternate or pocket dimension works just as well. It would sit better with the IDW universe and, if you consider this is an Angel who at the end of AtF had lost all his friends and Connor then his motivation is all the more. At that point in Hell A they had lost the war and it was still about a year pre S8 (I think)Alternate dimensions like 'The Wish' have been played with. Time folds in IWRY and AtF.
The thing I'm struck by that seems to be little discussion that this Angel is clearly around the bend. He's talking to a dog. In those other pages we saw him talking to a continous voice coming from a bird, jogger and old woman. He's looking out over a city of lights wishing to see just one light. What's with that?
Oooh, and it would make sense if he was the end of AtF Angel who was human{ish}. I can't recall if we've seen Angel vamping as Twilight so it would explain his lack of vampire traits
