Agent X #12

A looming masked figure casts a long shadow across a bold blue X on this 2003 Marvel cover by Brian Stelfreeze, setting an immediately tense, noir-drenched tone. Below that silhouette, a central figure in olive gear carries an unconscious man while two armed assailants close in from either side — a snapshot of danger that promises the series is going out in style with "Out with a Bang!" Daniel Way and Kyle Hotz bring their run to what looks like a fittingly high-stakes conclusion.
