Rock and a Hard Place is the second issue of the Long Night's Journey comic book miniseries. Written by Brett Matthews with Joss Whedon and illustrated by Mel Rubi, it was originally published on November 14, 2001, by Dark Horse Comics.
Synopsis[]
The search for Angel continues as L.A.'s resident vampire with a soul throws down with a walking volcano. Can Angel survive the molten menace long enough to unravel who's behind the bizarre series of attacks? Will Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn arrive to find Angel, or his ashes? All this plus a fistful of clues, an armor-clad assailant, and a mysterious evil mastermind.
This intense, action-packed, new Angel thriller is written by none other than series creator Joss Whedon. Penciller Mel Rubi (Witchblade / Aliens / Darkness / Predator: Mindhunter) brings some of the strangest and most horrific creatures ever conceived to life for this four-part Angel event.[1]
