Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 11 #1

Steve Morris's cover for this 2017 Dark Horse volume sets an immediately gripping tone: Buffy strides forward gripping a glowing scythe while Willow and a snarling Spike flank her, all three figures engulfed in surging magical waves that swallow what appear to be fragments of San Francisco's landmarks below. The swirling barbed wire, serpentine energy, and churning floodwaters framing the trio suggest the threat in "The Spread of Their Evil" is anything but ordinary. With Christos Gage writing and Rebekah Isaacs on art, Season 11 looks poised to put Buffy and her closest allies through something genuinely formidable.
