Nightwatch #8

The cover of Nightwatch #8 (November 1994) announces "A New Era" with a striking image: a red-horned, caped villain dominates the foreground, wielding a massive weapon against a large moon backdrop, while Nightwatch himself engages in aerial combat in the background amid swirling smoke and tendrils of green machinery. Roy Burdine's cover art makes it clear that "The Coming of Warbringer" is the centerpiece of this shift in direction for the series, with the imposing new threat radiating genuine menace. It's a confident visual statement that this chapter of Terry Kavanagh's run is steering into bold new territory.
