Daken: Dark Wolverine #4

Daken charges into combat against what appears to be the Fantastic Four — Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch blazing at full intensity, and a battered Thing crumbling in the foreground — in a tense, kinetic cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli. Part one of a four-part "Empire Act 2" arc, this 2011 Marvel series continues the dark adventures of Wolverine's ruthless son under the pen of Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu. It's a striking lineup of adversaries that promises serious escalation ahead.
