Spike: The Devil You Know #2

Spike finds himself seriously outnumbered on Franco Urru's cover for this 2010 IDW miniseries, with the platinum-haired vampire standing his ground amid a churning mob of horned demons and monstrous creatures — blades and fists flying on all sides. The fiery, hellish atmosphere Urru creates perfectly captures the spirit of the title: The Devil You Know promises that Spike's world is thoroughly overrun with the supernatural. It's a vivid, kinetic image that makes issue #2 hard to leave on the shelf.
