Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angel #1

Buffy and Angel surge forward together on this striking 1999 Dark Horse one-shot, with cover pencils by Jeff Matsuda and inks by Jon Sibal giving both figures a fierce, dynamic energy — Buffy gripping a stake while Angel looms protectively at her back, all set against a blazing golden background. The pairing of Sunnydale's Slayer and her brooding vampire ally promises the kind of charged, complicated partnership that made their relationship so compelling on screen. With "The Hollower (Part 1)" kicking off the story and a creative team including writer Chris Golden and artist Hector Gómez, this is a solid addition to Dark Horse's Buffyverse lineup.
