Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #6

Season 9 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues with issue #6, kicking off a new arc — "On Your Own, Part One" — from writer Andrew Chambliss and artist Georges Jeanty. Phil Noto's cover brings Buffy and Spike together in a tense, close composition, she reaching forward with an eerie green-tinged energy swirling around her hand while he looms protectively at her back against a moody nighttime cityscape. It's a striking image that sets a watchful, uncertain tone for whatever challenges this new chapter has in store.
