Spike: After the Fall #4

Franco Urru's cover for this 2008 IDW series puts Spike front and center — the platinum-blond vampire leaping dramatically above a chaotic tangle of fighters, chains in hand, against a backdrop splattered with blood. Below him, a striking crowd of women warriors and supernatural figures clash in a dense, kinetic pile-up that makes it immediately clear the post-apocalyptic stakes are anything but small. Brian Lynch's Spike: After the Fall continues to deliver the bleached-blond antihero in his own corner of the Angel: After the Fall saga, and this fourth issue shows no signs of slowing down.
