Havok & Wolverine - Meltdown #2

Volume two of Havok & Wolverine: Meltdown arrives with a cover painted by Kent Williams that crackles with Cold War tension — Havok crouches in his distinctive visor and dark costume amid a tangle of rifles and artillery, while a bare-chested, muscular Wolverine looms behind him, flanked by a Soviet hammer-and-sickle emblem and an American flag rendered in bold, swirling strokes. The painterly composition feels less like a superhero cover and more like a fever-dream propaganda poster, perfectly suited to the espionage atmosphere the Simonsons and the art team of Jon J. Muth and Williams brought to this prestige-format Epic Comics series. If the first issue hooked you, "Tender Loving Lies!" promises to keep the intrigue running hot.
