Fantastic Five #5

Doctor Doom's iron mask dominates this Marvel Comics 2 cover, his green-hooded visage looming large as the five members of the Fantastic Five — a rocky powerhouse, a fiery figure blazing with flame, a woman in blue, a purple-costumed fighter, and a winged hero — scatter around him in dynamic poses that make the threat feel very real. Paul Ryan's pencils and Al Milgrom's inks give Doom an imposing presence that perfectly suits the story title blazoned across the bottom: "In Search of Doom!" It's a confident, action-packed issue from 2000 that delivers exactly the kind of super-team-versus-supervillain energy the Marvel Comics 2 imprint does so well.
