Immortal Men #1 cover by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Alex Sinclair
That said, it could also work as a parable of discovering one's own sexual identity, and, with the great James Tynion IV behind it, that may have been intentional.

Batman: Detective Comics #975 cover by Alvaro Martinez, Raul Fernandez, and Brad Anderson
There is one two-page layout for which I am still unsure the reading order.
