Manhunter #23

This 2006 issue of Manhunter spotlights "Starry Knight" in a hauntingly beautiful cover by Stéphane Roux — a confident, armored woman wielding a glowing blue energy staff floats against a twilight sky, while a serene, ethereal female visage looms large in the clouds above her. The cool teal atmosphere and scattering white birds give the image a dreamlike, introspective mood that feels perfectly matched to the story arc's subtitle, "Phantom Pain." Marc Andreyko, Javier Pina, and Fernando Blanco continue their run on one of DC's most character-driven titles of the mid-2000s.
