Fearless Defenders #4

A clever, playful cover from Mark Brooks turns one of the Fearless Defenders into a literal paper doll, posed in her underwear at center while two fully detailed costume options — a sleek black tactical suit and an imposing Asgardian warrior's armor complete with winged helmet and sweeping cape — flank her like cut-out fashion choices, each complete with tab-and-fold illustrated details. A massive sword runs the length of the composition, grounding the lighthearted concept in the series' action-adventure roots. Cullen Bunn, Will Sliney, and Veronica Gandini's 2013 Marvel NOW! series continues to find fresh, confident ways to spotlight its all-female cast.
