Buffy the Vampire Slayer #24

Part of the "Ring of Fire" arc, this issue of BOOM! Studios' Buffy the Vampire Slayer presents a striking cover by David López that splits the world in two — Buffy stands front and center, hammer in hand, flanked by her determined allies in an upright formation, while a second group of figures appears reflected upside-down below, suggesting a world turned on its head. The mirrored composition lends the whole image an unsettling sense of duality that feels entirely fitting for a Slayer whose life constantly straddles two realities. With Lambert, Bachs, and Angulo driving the series, this 2021 installment looks like a pivotal moment for the Scooby Gang.
