Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12 #4

The final chapter of "The Reckoning" arrives in this Season 12 closer from Dark Horse, with a cover by Stephanie Hans that says everything without showing a single monster — Buffy stands with her back to us, her hair catching a wind-swept sunset sky, the great Slayer's scythe planted at her side like a monument to everything she's faced. It's a quietly powerful image, all stillness and impending consequence, perfectly suited to a season finale. Christos Gage and Joss Whedon bring their collaboration with Georges Jeanty, Karl Story, and the rest of the creative team to a close here, making this a meaningful capstone to Buffy's comic-book continuity.
