Buffy season 9 and Angel & Faith are on the list:
The 50 best covers of 2011

The fourth annual rundown of the best covers of the year features 50 images representing the work of 42 different artists (plus colorists, inkers, letterers and designers) from eight publishers.

Returning creators like Jo Chen, Dave Johnson, Paolo Rivera and J.H. Williams III are joined on the list by such "newcomers" as Francesco Francavilla, Viktor Kalvachev, Tradd Moore and Steve Morris...

Angel & Faith #4, by Steve Morris
Using a limited color palette and symbols of death and immortality (the skeletons and the peacock), Steve Morris creates an image that's eerie, beautiful and sinister. I love how the haunting "eyes" of the feathers are echoed in those of the people, and on the woman's bracelet, and how the two figures are themselves sinewy and skeletal.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 9 #1, by Jo Chen
With the world cut off from all supernatural influences, Buffy Summers makes a fresh start in a new city, San Francisco "” beautifully established by Jo Chen with this cover for the first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 9. I like, too, how the title of the story arc, "Freefall," seems to in with Buffy's dizzying perch atop the Golden Gate Bridge.

As far as I know, Chen left because she wanted to pursue other projects. There wasn't any conflict or something. Hopefully she'll be back some day.

You Bangels were lucky to get covers drawn by her. I hope she'll make a Spuffy cover some day. I like Morris, but I'm not particularly enthusiastic about Noto, although I use his cover at my banner. 😀

I agree that the Bangel covers were beautiful, but that season 8 Spike cover was awesome!
 
I think we're lucky to have a Buffyverse fan as CBR reviewer. Buffy S9 landed at 72 in their Top 100 comics for 2011.
