Buffy the Vampire Slayer #3

This striking cover by Matthew Taylor renders Buffy in warm reds and oranges — cheerleader uniform, arms outstretched, smiling with confident energy — while a cool blue, brooding Spike looms large in the background, surrounded by swirling tendrils of fire-like energy. The bold color contrast alone signals that BOOM! Studios' 2019 reimagining has a real visual identity of its own. With Jordie Bellaire writing and Dan Mora on interior art with colors by Raúl Angulo, issue #3 continues what's shaping up to be a stylish, fresh take on Joss Whedon's beloved Slayer mythology.
