Lucifer #4

Part of DC Vertigo's Sandman Universe line, Lucifer #4 (2019) carries the intriguing chapter title "The Peculiar Case of the Man on the Bathroom Floor" — and Sebastián Fiumara's cover art sets a haunting, contemplative tone to match. The cover juxtaposes two overlapping faces: a crumbling stone visage bearing a cross, and a flesh-and-blood figure rendered in warm amber tones, long-haired and weathered, whose reaching hands suggest desperation or supplication. Writer Dan Watters and artists Max and Sebastián Fiumara, with colors by Dave McCaig, continue to deliver the kind of brooding, theologically charged storytelling that earned this series a glowing "beautiful, full stop" from Comics Beat.
