Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #27

Three figures loom large on Steve Morris's cover — Spike's pale, sharp-featured visage, a determined Buffy rendered in muted olive tones gripping what appears to be a weapon, and a close, resolute portrait of Buffy herself dominating the foreground — all framed against a pale moon and the stark tagline "Team Slayer Divided… Just When They Need Each Other Most!" It's a striking visual promise of tension within the group, landing in Part 2 of "The Centre Cannot Hold" with writer Christos Gage and artist Rebekah Isaacs at the helm. If fractured alliances and high stakes are your thing, this 2016 Dark Horse chapter of Season 10 delivers that mood right from the cover.
