Cosmic Powers #1

Thanos dominates this 1994 Marvel one-shot's cover in full, snarling menace — his blue-skinned face set in a fierce grimace as cosmic energy swirls around him in bursts of orange, teal, and black, with a massive glowing fist thrusting toward the viewer. Cover art by Ron Lim and Jimmy Palmiotti gives the Mad Titan a raw, kinetic presence that suits a series titled Cosmic Powers perfectly. With Ron Marz writing and Ron Lim on interior art as well, this opener — "Knowledge Itself Is Power" — promises a story operating at the grandest scale Marvel's universe has to offer.
