America #5

America Chavez looks completely at ease in the front seat of a car, flashing a confident grin in her star-spangled jacket and flag-print shorts, while a purple-clad archer with American-flag sunglasses perches beside her amid a burst of shattered glass — all with a happy golden retriever lounging along for the ride. Jen Bartel's cover art brings a breezy, sun-soaked energy to the scene, balancing action (that exploding glass!) with genuine warmth and camaraderie between the two figures. Issue #5 of this 2017 Marvel series captures exactly the kind of bold, joyful spirit that makes America Chavez such a compelling lead.
