Angel & Faith #22

Three figures dominate Steve Morris's cover — Angel and Faith standing back to back with guarded, conflicted expressions, while a bearded older man gazes upward from the foreground, swirls of smoky color drifting around them all. The arrangement feels quietly tense, suggesting uneasy alliances and competing agendas as "What You Want, Not What You Need" reaches its second part. Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs's Season 9 run continued to be one of Dark Horse's most compelling Buffyverse offerings in 2013.
