Nubia & the Amazons #5

Nubia faces a serpentine nightmare in this fifth chapter of her series, as the cover — penciled and inked by Darryl Banks — shows her locked in a desperate struggle with a massive, multi-headed snake creature whose glowing red eyes and fanged maw radiate pure menace, its coils wrapping around her armored frame. The tagline "Death Is in the Eye of the Beholder" sets an ominous tone that feels entirely earned given the sheer scale of the threat bearing down on her. With Williams, Ayala, Martinez, Morales, and Fajardo Jr. on the creative team, this Black History Month issue promises the kind of bold, mythologically charged storytelling that has made this series a standout in DC's 2022 lineup.
