Angel: After the Fall #3

The cover of this 2011 IDW release pulls no punches: a battered Angel crouches low with a bloodied sword while a blue-haired warrior woman in scaled armor takes a fighting stance at his back — and looming behind them both is a massive horde of glowing-eyed demonic silhouettes against a fiery sky. It's a striking image that captures the overwhelming odds and grim determination at the heart of Angel: After the Fall, brought to life with the creative team of Whedon, Lynch, and Runge. Fans of the series will find this a compelling addition to one of IDW's most ambitious continuations of the beloved television universe.
