Angel: After the Fall #13

Rain-soaked and deeply affecting, Nick Runge's cover for this 2008 IDW issue shows one figure cradling another badly wounded man on a rain-drenched street, a bloodied sword lying nearby — a quietly devastating image that speaks to the emotional weight Brian Lynch and Joss Whedon bring to this continuation of Angel's story. The cool blue palette and streaking rainfall give the scene a mournful, cinematic quality that sets the tone perfectly. Stephen Mooney's interior art brings it all to life inside.
