Angel + Spike #13

The "Ring of Fire" arc reaches its thirteenth chapter with a cover that practically drips with noir atmosphere — a bloodied, dark-clad vampire stands against a brick wall under a pale moon, blood trailing from his mouth and hand, while two shadowy, glowing-eyed figures lurk beneath a gas lamp in the foggy background. Ignacio Valicenti's moody cover work leans hard into shadow and gold highlights, giving the whole thing the feel of a 1940s crime painting gone supernaturally wrong. With Adam Smith writing and Piotr Kowalski and Mattia Iacono handling interior art and color, this BOOM! Studios series continues to deliver a darkly stylish take on the Buffyverse's most brooding vampire duo.
