Guardians of the Galaxy #9

This 2016 Marvel chapter of Guardians of the Galaxy puts Gamora and Drax in serious trouble — a massive, rocky-fisted giant has Gamora pinned beneath a jagged metal shield while Drax struggles beneath those enormous hands, red eyes blazing with fury. Arthur Adams's cover work is as kinetic as ever, pulling the viewer right into the crushing weight of the moment with a dramatic top-down perspective that makes the threat feel overwhelming. A tense, visually gripping entry in Bendis, Schiti, and Isanove's run on Marvel's cosmic misfits.
