Amazing X-Men #18

This 2015 Marvel issue wraps up "The Once and Future Juggernaut" arc with a cover that pulls you in close — uncomfortably close — to a wide, fearful eye, its iris reflecting the looming silhouette of a powerful, snarling figure. Jorge Fornés and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg bathe the whole composition in urgent, fiery reds, the radiating lines around the eye amplifying the tension until you can almost feel the dread. It's a quietly unsettling design that promises the conclusion delivers something the characters won't soon forget.
