Drax the Destroyer #3

Issue three of this four-part 2006 Marvel limited series finds Drax the Destroyer rendered in striking, molten-toned glory — a powerful fist thrust skyward, blade in hand, against a blazing orange-red backdrop that practically radiates heat. Mitchell Breitweiser's cover art strips the character down to something raw and elemental, perfectly in tune with the story title "From the Ashes." With Keith Giffen writing and Brian Reber's warm, fiery colors amplifying every line, this penultimate chapter promises a series firing on all cylinders.
