Buffy the Vampire Slayer #11

Three young women — one perched confidently at center holding a stake, flanked by a brunette with a lipstick and a red-haired figure gripping what appears to be a weapon — lounge against a school hallway wall like they own the place, with a "Look After Your Hallways" sign overhead grounding the scene firmly in Sunnydale High territory. Marc Aspinall's cover art strikes a deceptively casual tone that makes the trio's quiet readiness feel all the more compelling. Part of the "Hellmouth" crossover event uniting the Buffy and Angel titles, this issue from Jordie Bellaire and David López arrives right when the BOOM! Studios reimagining is hitting some of its most ambitious storytelling territory.
