Dawn / Vampirella #5

The penultimate chapter of this Dynamite crossover miniseries arrives with a striking image by Joseph Michael Linsner: a pale, fanged Vampirella — rendered here in flowing white rather than her usual costume — gazes upward with an unsettling intensity while cradling a limp, red-haired Dawn in her hands. The scale contrast between the two figures gives the cover an almost dreamlike, otherworldly tension that feels perfectly suited to "Chapter Five: An Open Rose." With Linsner handling every aspect of the art himself — pencils, inks, colors, and story — this 2015 issue carries a singular creative vision straight through to its haunting final page.
