Angel & Faith #16

Faith takes center stage on this sun-drenched cover by Steve Morris, her auburn hair caught in the breeze as she smiles against a warm London riverside backdrop — a moment of rare lightness before a story arc called "Death and Consequences" kicks off. Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs deliver the first chapter of a four-part arc, promising that the easy mood on the cover may not last long. It's a beautifully composed issue in Dark Horse's Season 9 run, balancing the character's hard-edged charm with something almost hopeful.
