Angel & Faith Season 10 #22

Scott Fischer's cover for this twenty-second issue of Angel & Faith Season 10 is a beautifully painted, portrait-framed composition: a brooding Angel crouches in the foreground clutching a blade, white roses scattered around him, while a young woman in Victorian dress and a bonnet — holding a small bouquet — stands just behind him, and a massive, shadowy creature looms ominously in the background. The ornate gilded frame and muted, painterly palette give the whole image an eerie, old-world atmosphere that fits perfectly with the "A Tale of Two Families" storyline continuing here. Writer Victor Gischler and artist Will Conrad deliver another chapter of this Dark Horse series that clearly isn't shy about blending gothic dread with the Buffyverse's signature heart.
