Fearless Defenders #5

Marvel's all-female team book gets a brilliantly playful cover for issue #5, as Mark Brooks frames the confrontation between an armor-clad Valkyrie and a ready-to-brawl She-Hulk as a classic fighting video game — complete with character-select portraits showcasing the series' wide roster of heroines and a bold "FIGHT!" prompt blazing across the center. The concept is immediately winning, and the lineup of portrait tiles hints at just how deep the bench runs in Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney's 2013 series. Whether you're a longtime fan of Marvel's heroines or just discovering the team, this cover alone makes a compelling case to jump in.
