1602: Witch Hunter Angela #2

Part two of Marvel's Secret Wars tie-in plants Angela and her companions firmly in a richly atmospheric Elizabethan world, and Stephanie Hans's cover perfectly captures the mood — a tense group of five figures, including a feathered-helmed warrior woman, a tattooed axe-wielding giant, a young crossbow-ready archer, and a small raccoon-like creature clutching a blade, all pressing forward through a darkened forest. The cover even promises "Ye Olde Guardians of the Galaxy," a playful nod that makes this 2015 Secret Wars corner of the Marvel universe feel both fresh and genuinely fun. With Bennett and Gillen co-writing and Hans handling both the art and inks, this issue pairs sharp storytelling talent with painterly visuals that give the whole ensemble a moody, storybook weight.
