Daken: Dark Wolverine #20

Rain-soaked and deeply unsettling, Giuseppe Camuncoli's cover for issue #20 captures Daken gripping a weeping blonde woman by the face — his bone claws partially extended, her expression caught somewhere between terror and grief — all bathed in a striking blood-red wash. The story title "A Love Story?" hangs over the scene with pointed irony, setting a tone that is equal parts menace and tragedy. With Rob Williams writing and Alessandro Vitti on art, this 2012 Marvel series continues to push Daken into morally complex, emotionally charged territory.
