Absolute Carnage: Lethal Protectors #3

The penultimate chapter of this Absolute Carnage tie-in delivers a cover that captures the desperate, surrounded feeling of the whole event: a woman in white blazes with light at the center, arms raised skyward, while Cloak, a dark-haired fighter, and a young woman crackling with blue energy hold the line against a swarming horde of red symbiote creatures closing in from every direction. Iban Coello's composition makes the threat feel genuinely overwhelming, with Carnage-infected figures reaching in from the edges like the walls themselves are alive. Frank Tieri and Flaviano bring this miniseries home with all the chaos and urgency 2019's biggest Marvel event had to offer.
