Angel #16

Part Three of "Past Lives" arrives in this 2001 Dark Horse crossover, with Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself looming large in the background as a ghostly, watchful presence over the action below. Front and center, a scarred, snarling demon-like figure in a leather jacket faces off against a fierce dark-haired woman in ornate armor, her twin blades at the ready in what looks like an intense close-quarters confrontation. Christian Zanier's pencils and Andrew Pepoy's inks give the cover a kinetic, charged energy that makes this team-up arc feel like essential reading for fans of both series.
