Guardians of the Galaxy #5

A massive horned armored figure dominates this cover, fist cocked and ready to obliterate anything in its path, while Drax and the Thing scramble to respond amid a storm of debris — it's a genuinely thrilling composition by Arthur Adams that crackles with kinetic energy. The radiating red burst behind the towering threat gives the whole image a sense of impact even before anything has landed. Bendis, Schiti, and Isanove's 2016 run on the Guardians was hitting its stride, and this issue's cover promises the kind of cosmic-scale brawl that makes Marvel's space corner so much fun.
