Daredevil #11

This bold Marcos Martín cover for Daredevil #11 (2012) arranges its cast like a dossier come to life — the Punisher looms large in his skull-emblazoned vest, gun in hand, while Daredevil squares off in the foreground and a red-haired woman's sharp gaze watches from the corner, all set against a stark red-and-grey design splashed with references to "Megacrime" and shadowy criminal organizations. The graphic, almost espionage-poster aesthetic perfectly suits "The Omega Effect Part Three," suggesting dangerous alliances and high stakes. Mark Waid's run with artists Marco Checchetto and colorist Matt Hollingsworth was consistently delivering some of Marvel's most visually striking storytelling in 2012, and this issue looks to be no exception.
