Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #12

Spike snarls at the center of this striking 2015 Dark Horse cover by Steve Morris, his platinum hair and vampire features radiating barely contained fury, while two large, ghostly faces — a woman and a shaved-headed man — loom hauntingly on either side of him against a deep crimson backdrop. The composition feels genuinely tense, perfectly suited to the second chapter of "Love Dares You," suggesting complicated relationships pushing everyone to their limits. Writers Christos Gage and Nicholas Brendon, along with artist Megan Levens, keep Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 firing on all cylinders as it heads into its second year.
