Battlestar Galactica #12

Dynamite Entertainment's Battlestar Galactica #12 brings this 2007 series to a dramatic close with a cover by Stephen Segovia that crackles with tension — a mysterious man channels a blinding sphere of energy while a dark-haired woman reaches upward in an almost trance-like state, all framed against the looming chrome helmet of a Cylon. The composition, with its amber sky and electric arcs of light, perfectly captures the uneasy collision of human vulnerability and machine menace that defines the BSG universe. With writing by Greg Pak and interior art by Nigel Raynor and Jonathan Lau, this is a satisfying finale to a series that brought the beloved franchise to the comics page with real flair.
