" Dark Horse Comics has revealed that it has regained the rights to Angel. The surprise announcement appeared in the back of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley one-shot, reports Robot 6. Dark Horse senior managing editor Scott Allie teased &amp;quot;the return of the Angel series to Dark Horse in late 2011, in tandem with our Buffy Season 9 relaunch&amp;quot; in a column at the end of the issue. Dark Horse published Angel comics from 2000 to 2002 before IDW Publishing acquired the rights in 2005. Its Angel title is still ongoing. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll be addressing this soon, so please bear with us,&amp;quot; wrote IDW publisher and editor-in-chief Chris Ryall posted on the publisher&amp;#039;s official forum. &amp;quot;Thanks, for your patience and your support.&amp;quot; A conflict arose between the publishers in January when Angel appeared as a key player in the events of Buffy the Vampire Season 8.
