Hellions #13

A scarred, stitched-together figure in a black suit with vivid red-feathered wings looms triumphantly over a fallen, unconscious figure below — Stephen Segovia's cover for Hellions #13 is immediately arresting in its sense of hard-won, unsettling dominance. Zeb Wells' "Don't Look Back Part I: Weary Travelers" promises a story as worn and battle-damaged as the combatants themselves, with Rain Beredo's smoky, muted palette giving the whole scene a grim, atmospheric weight. If this creative team's 2021 run has been building toward a reckoning, this cover suggests it has very much arrived.
