Blade of the Immortal #105

Hiroaki Samura's long-running Dark Horse manga series delivers a haunting image with this "Duet" one-shot: a lone, cloaked figure with flowing dark hair stands silhouetted against a blazing white light, surrounded by the jagged, looming shadows of collapsed or crossed structures. The warm amber and orange tones give the cover a smoldering, almost otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly suits the series' blend of brutal action and quiet tension. A compelling single image that draws you in before you've even turned the first page.
