Namor, the Sub-Mariner #37

Namor surges forward on this shimmering, scale-patterned cover with long wild hair and battle-worn intensity, wielding what appears to be a bladed weapon — every inch the Prince of Atlantis pushed to his limits. The bold "REBORN!" banner hints at a dramatic turn in store, and Jae Lee's cover art captures that brooding, kinetic energy he brought to the title throughout 1993. Bearing the Avengers' 30th anniversary emblem as a badge of Marvel's rich heritage, this issue — titled "When Princely Blood Is Shed" — promises exactly the kind of high-stakes Namor storytelling fans of the era were following closely.
