Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. #8

A lone figure in a dark suit stands weighed down beneath the massive, blood-streaked S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem — it's a striking, quietly haunting cover by Mike Norton that captures a man at a crossroads. This Civil War II tie-in issue, written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Germán Peralta and colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, carries the story into "The Third Faction" as the organization itself seems to loom as both backdrop and burden. If you've been following this series, issue #8 looks like exactly the moment things get complicated in the best possible way.
