Lovely!

Angel: Illyria - Haunted - Mariah Huehner, Elena Casagrande, Scott Tipton

I mean, it's about Illyria, so it's horrifying, but lovely as well. 

 

That being said, one half star off because the art was a little hit and miss.   Just a little miss, and a lot of hit, but the variation drove me a little crazy. 

 

One half star off because this was my nightmare on page.  Literally. 

 

 

THAT'S THE SPIDER FROM MY NIGHTMARES, WTF, I CAN'T ESCAPE IT.   EVER.

 

But apparently this guy is a sweetheart.   Um, okay, I guess he's not the one terrifying me forever then.   

 

Oh, also, Spike calls Illyria darling.   Why does he call people darling now?  

 

But look at this: 

 

 

That's hands down my favorite illustration of Illyria: all power and shameless about wielding it.   That's her.   There's just something in this pose that gets to the core of her character that I can't help but love this image. 

 

It's really a solo outting where she goes on a quest to get answers about where she belongs.   And does she, hoo boy does she.   I like the person she becomes, and how comfortable she becomes with her place in the world.   I liked that this was a little more lighthearted, and hopeful, settled some things for Illyria, and also felt very in character. 

 

Love!
