Really happy that we got an Illyria version of this cover. Love the concept of Gunn and Illyria's inner demon. Can't wait to see it colored.

Yeah, Messina is really knocking the ball out of the park with his covers. EDIT- Found the colored version while rooting around on Messina's BLOG:  Unfortunately, it's not very big, but it sure looks nice! |

Here's the solicitation info (from tfaw.com) and a larger version of the colored cover: Another Old One roams the Earth! And don't think he's going to go easy on Illyria, his ex. (Considering she's the one that enslaved him several hundred thousand years ago, it doesn't look like a reconciliation is in the cards.) All this and a glimpse into Gunn's past, revealing the very first time he ever met a vampire... in his beloved Grandmother's kitchen.

I love the art! And another Old One!? I've always thought that another may come along the path one day!  |

Another Old One? how cool... I hope the Powers That Be are back and get some pay back this time around, I can't Illyria taking him down on her own, but Aftermath kind of killed the whole 'TPTB' thing for me so maybe not.

That cover is seriously one of my favorites ever. Absolutely love it. Solicitation sounds great as well.

I wonder if the vampire in the kitchen of his grandmother, is his actual grandmother who is sired. If that's true, another familymember who needs to be staked. Poor Gunn.
And Illyria's ex is an 'he'? Wasn't Illyria a male in the past as well? Illyria was king of kings.

Same thing with this other Old One probably. It back in the day, but a "he" now that it is in a presumably male body. |

Man, Illyria looks so hauntingly beautiful. And it's kinda funny that ever since she made out with Spike, Illyria is now getting some romance. A kiss from Fred's prom date and now Illyria's ex from the Old One days

I think it would be hilarious if when Illyria revals to Gunn ( if he hasn't figured it out on his own which he most likely wouldnt cause its not obvious to him) that she and the old one were together and Gunn does a family guy style cut away in his mind and see's Illyria and the old one eating the same piece of spaghetti until they're close and kiss each other (lady and the tramp reference for anyone who didnt get it) lol.

I am loving the black and white cover a lot :3 I doubt it will be an actual retail cover, it was just the cover before it was colored.  |
