I really, really like this. I don't have much to add right now (am trying to organise my own thoughts and am short on time), but I wrote some meta on issue 15 that touches on a lot the same issues and ideas, if you're curious. Especially liked the way you showed everyone being changed by their trip to hell, except for Angel - maybe. It's interesting, actually, how little he has changed over the years... But that is a much longer topic.
Actually, I am yet again reminded of the_royal_anna's post on 'Damage', which continues to be one of the best explorations of Angel (and Spike's) character(s) that I've ever read. Long, but excellent.
Anyway, I'll probably come back to this at some point and waffle a lot! ;) *bookmarks*
