Angel: Illyria: Haunted #3

Jenny Frison's cover for this third chapter of Angel: Illyria: Haunted is quietly mesmerizing — the ancient god-king strides forward in her crimson armor, blue-violet hair flowing, her pale eyes cold and unreadable as two massive octopuses flank her against a shadowy, tentacle-filled void. There's something both regal and unsettling about Illyria's composure amid these eldritch creatures, perfectly capturing the character's otherworldly nature. With Scott Tipton, Mariah Huehner, and Elena Casagrande steering the story, this 2011 IDW miniseries remains a compelling spotlight on one of the Buffyverse's most fascinatingly inhuman figures.
