Avengers Undercover #7

A graveyard sets a haunting stage on Francesco Mattina's cover for this 2014 Marvel series, where a young woman with dark hair comes face-to-face with a hulking, bloodied undead figure whose glowing red eyes peer through shattered glasses — and the tombstone behind them reads "Here Lies Alex Wi…," adding a quietly devastating layer of context. The intimate, almost tender composition between these two figures gives the scene an unsettling emotional weight that's hard to shake. Dennis Hopeless, Kev Walker, Jason Gorder, and Jean-Francois Beaulieu continue "Going Native, Part Two," and if this cover is any indication, the series is living up to its reputation for doing unexpected things with its characters.
