Masters of the Universe #6

The sixth and final chapter of "Dark Reflections" closes out Image's 2003 Masters of the Universe run with a striking close-up cover by Emiliano Santalucia — a stern, mustachioed man in a silver and gold helmet fills the frame, his expression hard and unyielding while a crack spiderwebs across what appears to be a shattered surface or visor in front of him. That fracture cutting across the image gives the whole composition a satisfying tension, hinting at something strained to its breaking point. Val Staples and the full creative team bring this arc home, making this a satisfying capstone for anyone who followed the series from the start.
