Angel #13

Tied to the WB television series that brought vampire-with-a-soul Angel to screens everywhere, Dark Horse's Angel #13 continues "Vermin Chapter 2" with a cover that's hard to look away from. A shirtless, screaming figure stands arms outstretched between the massive, gaping jaws of some enormous creature, while two looming supernatural faces — one on each side — regard the scene from the purple-hazed background above a darkened city skyline. Cover pencils and inks by Jason Minor give the whole image a raw, visceral tension that fits perfectly into the moody Los Angeles horror world Golden, Sniegoski, Zanier, and Pepoy are building across this run.
