Angel: After the Fall #7

The hellscape of Los Angeles looms large on Rebecca A. Wrigley's striking cover, where a bald, otherworldly figure dominates the fiery red skyline alongside a serpentine demon — while in the foreground, a suited man stands grimly composed and a young woman crackles with blue electrical energy at her fingertips. Brian Lynch and Joss Whedon continue their official continuation of the Angel television series with this 2008 IDW chapter, subtitled "Wesley," promising some focused attention on one of the Buffyverse's most compelling characters. With Nick Runge on interior art and a cover that radiates tension and supernatural menace, this is a vivid entry in a series that clearly isn't pulling its punches.
