Angel: Only Human #4

A massive, horned demon skull dominates the upper half of this 2009 IDW cover, its hollow eye socket glowing and a swirling symbol etched into its forehead — an ominous presence looming over the two figures below. A bald man and a blue-haired woman with striking pale eyes face the tension head-on, lightning crackling behind them in a charged, atmospheric split composition. David Messina's cover work pulls the whole thing together with a moody intensity that makes Angel: Only Human #4 a visually striking entry in this miniseries.
