Guardians of the Galaxy #22

The whole team is under pressure in this 2015 Marvel issue, with a massive, fang-rimmed alien maw dominating the cover as the Guardians scramble around it — Venom front and center, symbiote tendrils blazing with energy, while Groot, Gamora, and Rocket Raccoon hold their ground behind him. Star-Lord and what appears to be Captain Marvel can be spotted in the background, rounding out a roster bracing for serious cosmic trouble. Valerio Schiti's cover art crackles with kinetic chaos, making issue #22 a compelling entry in this run.
