Guardians of the Galaxy #59

Marvel's 31st-century team takes center stage in Guardians of the Galaxy #59, and the cover by Kevin West and Steve Montano makes it immediately clear that the stakes are brutally high — a silver-armored figure grapples violently with a blue-skinned bruiser, vivid red splatter flying between them as a smaller white-costumed Guardian swoops in below. The raw intensity of that three-figure clash, set against a crackling blue and gold energy field, captures everything that made this era of cosmic Marvel storytelling so compelling. "Orphan in the Storm" promises the kind of issue that keeps fans of Michael Gallagher and Jeff Moore's 31st-century adventures eagerly turning pages.
