Angel: The Curse #3

Angel stands front and center in his signature long black coat, flanked by a striking comic-panel layout showcasing several brooding, shadowed faces — some human, some distinctly demonic. David Messina's cover art for this August 2005 IDW issue has a cool, cinematic quality, with the fragmented panel design hinting at the tensions surrounding everyone's favorite vampire with a soul. A solid entry in Angel: The Curse, and a fine showcase for Messina's sleek, character-driven style.
