Drax #5

Drax faces down a massive, fire-breathing dragon-like creature on Scott Hepburn's kinetic cover for this 2016 Marvel series — the green-skinned destroyer charges forward with blades in hand while the beast unleashes a torrent of flame just inches away. Written by Cullen Bunn with art and inks by Hepburn and colors by Matt Milla, this creative team clearly has a gift for staging man-versus-monster confrontations that feel genuinely dangerous. Issue #5 promises the kind of relentless, hard-hitting action that makes Drax such a compelling solo title.
