Fear Itself: The Deep #1

Spinning out of Marvel's 2011 Fear Itself event, this opening chapter of the four-issue limited series plunges readers straight into dread — the cover by Lee Garbett and David Meikis depicts a desperate figure reaching upward through churning, bubble-filled water, his face twisted with panic, while a second green-skinned figure looms in the background depths. Cullen Bunn, Garbett, Meikis, and colorist John Rauch set a tense, suffocating tone from the very first image, suggesting that whatever terror Fear Itself has unleashed reaches far below the surface.
