Alpha Flight #3

The third chapter of this 2011 eight-part Marvel limited series arrives with a striking cover by Phil Jimenez — a close-up of a woman's face fractured as though seen through shattered glass, her two eyes rendered in unsettlingly different colors, suggesting a deeply divided identity. Writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, paired with interior artist Dale Eaglesham, continue "Powered & Dangerous," a title that perfectly matches the tension radiating from that cracked, intense gaze. It's a beautifully unsettling image that sets a compelling, psychological tone for wherever Canada's premier super-team finds itself in the grip of Fear Itself.
