Burn the Orphanage: Reign of Terror #5

The five-issue "Reign of Terror" arc reaches its finale with a cover that balances chaos and tenderness in equal measure — a muscular, bandana-wearing hero and a blonde woman share a kiss at the center of the image while a city erupts around them, civilians fleeing and armored figures closing in from every side. Looming above it all is the shadowy, watchful face of a mysterious woman, with propaganda-style portraits of a mustachioed figure plastered across the cityscape's billboards. Grace and Freedman deliver a finale cover that feels like the last frame of an 80s action film — bruised, romantic, and gloriously over the top.
