Aquaman #44

Aquaman and Mera share an intimate, almost-kiss moment on this November 2015 cover, their foreheads nearly touching as Aquaman raises a blade overhead — both of them still armed and clearly in the thick of something dangerous. A mysterious circular sigil filled with arcane symbols looms behind them, lending the scene an air of dark mysticism that fits right in with the "Siren's Call" story inside. Writer Cullen Bunn and artist Alec Morgan bring the underwater world's royal couple together in a moment that feels equal parts tender and tense.
