Bring on the Bad Guys: Mephisto #1

Marvel's "Bring on the Bad Guys" spotlight turns its gaze on one of the Marvel Universe's most chilling villains, with Lee Bermejo delivering a cover that commands attention — a snarling, glowing-eyed Mephisto lunges forward in swirling flame and shadow, reaching toward an armored gauntlet that stretches back defiantly from the foreground. The tension between those two outstretched hands captures everything unsettling about this demon lord: the sense that any confrontation with him is already a negotiation you're losing. Marc Guggenheim and Álvaro López bring their talents to bear on this 2025 one-shot, with Neeraj Menon's colors sure to complement the hellish atmosphere Bermejo sets so vividly on the cover.
