Angel #30

A young man in casual clothes stands sword in hand between two imposing, horned demonic figures — each armed and draped in flowing crimson — all framed within an ornate decorative border that gives the image a strikingly composed, almost heraldic feel. Jenny Frison's cover work lends the scene a moody elegance, balancing quiet human vulnerability against the flanking threat of these red creatures against a warm, hazy sky. Bill Willingham and Brian Denham bring their talents to "The Trouble with Felicia," and this 2010 IDW issue promises exactly the kind of supernatural tension its cover so beautifully sets up.
