Justice League Dark #21

Mikel Janín's cover for Justice League Dark #21 sets an intimate and eerie tone, depicting a pale, bald figure in crimson robes leaning in close to a dark-haired woman — their near-embrace framed against a backdrop of skulls and shadowy, hooded figures. The tagline "Love and Death… and the End of the World!" captures the peculiar tension this series does so well, blending genuine emotion with apocalyptic dread. Written by Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes with interior art by Mikel Janín and Vicente Cifuentes, this 2013 New 52 chapter looks like a compelling mix of the tender and the terrifying.
