Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #16

Season 9 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues with issue #16 and the start of "Welcome to the Team," sporting a Phil Noto cover that places a one-eyed man and a determined young woman front and center against a San Francisco streetscape, while Buffy's face looms large and ethereal in the background. The composition suggests tension, alliance, and high stakes all at once — three figures whose fates feel unmistakably intertwined. With Andrew Chambliss writing and Georges Jeanty on art, this 2012 Dark Horse entry looks like a compelling new chapter for the Slayer and her world.
