Civil War II: Kingpin #3

The cover of this 2016 Marvel tie-in to Civil War II delivers a quietly menacing composition — Wilson Fisk looms large in the upper panel, cold-eyed and commanding, while the Punisher's skull-masked face peers in from the side with a gun drawn, both figures reflected against a crimson backdrop populated by small, shadowed figures. Aaron Kuder's design splits the image across three tiers, the bottom strip giving way to a moody city skyline that underscores just how much of this urban world these two dangerous men are fighting over. With Rosenberg and Ortiz driving the story, this issue looks to push the tension between crime lord and vigilante to a genuinely uncomfortable place.
