Fearless Defenders #6

Styled like a vintage pulp magazine, this Fearless Defenders #6 cover by Mark Brooks presents three fierce heroines — a silver-haired woman in black, a red-clad woman holding a glowing lantern, and a red-haired gunwoman in tactical gear — striding forward against a horde of monstrous, fanged creatures looming in the shadows behind them. The "Weird Stories" pulp pastiche framing gives the whole composition a gloriously eerie atmosphere that sets the team against something genuinely menacing. With Cullen Bunn writing and Will Sliney and Veronica Gandini bringing the interiors to life, this 2013 Marvel NOW! series continues to deliver an all-female team with serious attitude to spare.
