Buffy the Vampire Slayer #20

Part of BOOM! Studios' "Ring of Fire" arc, issue #20 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer delivers one of 2020's most unsettling cover images — a vampiric figure with glowing yellow eyes seated cross-legged on an ornate throne, casually scrolling a phone while surrounded by a mound of skulls and flanked by candlelit candelabras. The eerie calm of that pose against such grim surroundings makes for a genuinely striking contrast, brought to life with moody atmosphere by cover artist David López. With Jordie Bellaire, Jeremy Lambert, Ramón Bachs, and Raúl Angulo driving the interior, this series continues to find fresh and compelling angles on the Slayer's world.
