ElfQuest: The Final Quest #23

Wendy and Richard Pini's decades-spanning saga charges forward in ElfQuest: The Final Quest #23, with cover art by Wendy Pini capturing a scene of raw, urgent conflict — a powerful human warrior grips a rope while clashing blades with a bloodied opponent in the foreground, as an elf fighter and a panicked older human woman on horseback are swept up in the fray, and a shadowy archer looms in the twilit trees behind them. The mix of elves and humans locked in desperate struggle gives the cover a scope that feels true to everything ElfQuest has always done so well. A solid entry in one of fantasy comics' most enduring series, published by Dark Horse in 2018.
