Guardians Team-Up #6

Two fierce figures dominate this Marvel 2015 cover — a green-skinned warrior woman wielding crossed blades faces off against a blue-skinned, pointy-eared young man in a dramatic mid-air clash, both snarling with ferocious intensity. The dynamic composition by Clay Mann captures Gamora and Nightcrawler locked in what looks like an all-out duel, their bodies twisting through a swirling purple-and-grey atmospheric backdrop. Guardians Team-Up #6 promises the kind of cross-team friction that makes Marvel's cosmic and mutant corners so much fun to collide.
