Angel & Faith #10

Subtitled "Women of a Certain Age," this 2012 Dark Horse entry in the Angel & Faith Season 9 series offers a cover by Steve Morris that speaks volumes through its layered composition: two young women — one clutching a wooden figure and a handbag, the other leaning in close — are depicted in vivid motion above a weary, bespectacled older man who rests his chin in his hand, surrounded by scattered papers and open books. The generational contrast between the energetic figures above and the contemplative man below sets a compelling, quietly dramatic tone. Written by Christos Gage with interior art by Chris Samnee, this issue promises the kind of thoughtful character-driven storytelling that made this series a standout in the Buffyverse.
