Guardians of the Galaxy #3

Gamora's cold golden eyes and bared teeth set an immediately unsettling tone on Arthur Adams's cover for this 2016 installment of Guardians of the Galaxy, where she looms behind a grimacing, red-marked Drax — blade pressed close — against a stark starfield backdrop. The tension between these two green-skinned heavyweights is palpable, rendered with Adams's characteristically detailed linework. Brian Michael Bendis, Valerio Schiti, and Richard Isanove bring their talents to the interior, making this a compelling pick for any fan of Marvel's cosmic corner.
