Captain Marvel #14

Chapter 11 of Marvel's sprawling "Black Vortex" crossover arrives in this 2015 installment, and the cover by David López sets an immediately arresting tone — Captain Marvel, wide-eyed and screaming, reaches desperately toward the viewer while a massive, dark armored figure looms behind her, its glowing white eyes cold and impassive against a glittering star-field. The contrast between Carol's raw vulnerability and that towering, shadowy presence charges the image with real tension. With Kelly Sue DeConnick writing and López handling both pencils and inks alongside colorist Lee Loughridge's deep cosmic palette, this is a visually striking entry in the event.
