Agent X #7

A cool confidence radiates from this 2003 Marvel issue, with cover art by Alvin Lee, inked by Rob Ross and Udon Studios, depicting a blonde woman lounging in an armchair dressed in Agent X-branded crop top and shorts — surrounded by discarded Agent X merchandise scattered across the chair's arms. Writer Gail Simone brings her signature wit to "Shameful William," and the tongue-in-cheek cover sets a playful, self-aware tone that feels right at home in this series. If you enjoy comics that don't take themselves too seriously while still delivering sharp storytelling, this issue looks like a solid pick.
