He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #19

This 2015 DC issue kicks off the "Prelude to the Eternity War" with a cover by Stjepan Šejić that sets a genuinely haunting tone — a massive, skull-faced Skeletor looms in dark silhouette over a tender, desperate scene of a woman cradling a fallen armored warrior. The contrast between that quiet human moment and the overwhelming shadow of evil bearing down on it makes for a striking image that feels both intimate and foreboding. With Rob David writing and Tom Derenick on art, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #19 looks to be a chapter where the stakes of Eternia's greatest conflict become deeply personal.
