Mage #6

Mage: The Hero Defined #6 brings Matt Wagner's mythic series roaring into 1999 with a cover that puts the hero front and center — bloodied, battle-worn, and gripping a crackling, lightning-edged weapon with fierce determination in his eyes. The close-up composition makes the intensity feel almost uncomfortably personal, as if you're standing right across from him in whatever conflict he's just endured. With Wagner handling both the writing and art alongside colorist Jeromy Cox's smoldering red atmosphere, this is a compelling snapshot of a hero defined by struggle.
