Axis: Revolutions #3

The split cover design of Axis: Revolutions #3 neatly captures the series' dual focus — on one side, a woman in a gold-and-brown costume leaps with fierce energy amid blazing energy beams outside a bank, while the other half plunges into a churning, chaotic aquatic scene where figures struggle against massive rocky forms. Ken Lashley's cover art makes excellent use of that diagonal divide, pitting fiery orange tones against cool blues to underscore the Avengers/X-Men branding across the top. With Ray Fawkes writing and Pepe Larraz on interior art, this 2015 anthology tie-in to the AXIS event delivers a story titled "Nice Shot" that promises exactly the kind of sharp, punchy action the cover telegraphs.
