The Omega Men #8

Few covers in DC's 2016 lineup are as quietly unsettling as this one — a deep-space vista dominated by a massive crimson planet whose surface bears the unmistakable impression of a skull, ringed by a faint teal orbital circle while two small silhouetted figures drift nearby in the star-flecked void. Trevor Hutchison's cover art pairs that eerie planetary image with the bold declaration "Planet Voorl Is Forbidden," setting an atmosphere of dread and cosmic stakes that feels wholly earned. Tom King, Barnaby Bagenda, and colorist Romulo Fajardo Jr. continue to make The Omega Men one of the more distinctive sci-fi series DC had to offer.
