Angel #9

Dark Horse's tie-in to the hit WB series delivers a moody, atmospheric chapter with this 2000 entry — "Beneath the Surface, Part 2." Eric Powell's cover puts the tension front and center: a dark-coated Angel lunges sword-first at a hulking, monstrous figure in shallow water, while an enormous shadowy face looms ominously in the background, suggesting something far worse lurks beneath the conflict. With Golden and Sniegoski scripting and Powell handling both linework and inks throughout, this issue brings a gritty, horror-tinged edge that fans of the television series will find right at home.
