Buffy the Vampire Slayer #29

Buffy charges front and center on this striking Dark Horse cover — knife in hand, golden hair flying — while a shattered-mirror arrangement behind her reveals Angel, a red-masked figure, a snarling vampire demon, and another brooding face peering through the fragments. It's the second chapter of "Past Lives," and the fractured composition neatly hints at a story tangled up in history and hidden identities. Cover pencils by Christian Zanier and inks by Andrew Pepoy give the whole thing a sharp, kinetic energy that pulls you right in.
