Sorry, I felt like was beginning to repeat myself. Truth is I do the same thing, respond to a post forgetting what the original one said. Gotten into a lot of dicy conversations doing that. Can't really get upset at you for doing more or less the same thing.
Also, you have no way of knowing that I posted a rather lenghy response above to much the same point. (Unless you felt like reading it and if I were you, I probably wouldn't have.)
At any rate - I think if you keep in mind the following things, you will realize that the writers do not see Angel as a hero, nor does Angel really - he just wants to be seen as one. That last page was meant to be highly ironic and very tongue in cheek.
1. The boy taking his photo with Angel is the same guy who was in First Night declaring the world was going to end and then not too happy with what happened to him.
2. This issue comments on the events in Buffy S8 Harmonic Divergence - where vampires are now considered hot, celebrities, and cool.
3. The only people who remember or know what happened in LA were in LA.
4. This is a verse where the hero, Buffy, no one knows or appreciates. Where true heroes are often overlooked and get no credit for their deeds or if they do, a limited amount.
Here Angel is being celebrated as a hero? And Angel declares himself the hero?
