Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. #4

Issue four of Marvel's Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. delivers a cover that makes an immediate impression — a massively armored, ancient-looking villain looms forward over a hieroglyph-carved sarcophagus, his winged headdress and gem-studded purple armor radiating menace, while a pale hand and a snarling monstrous face peek from beneath him. The eerie green flames burning atop twin pillars in the background add a nicely unsettling supernatural atmosphere. Brent Schoonover's linework, colored with atmospheric flair by Nick Filardi, captures exactly the kind of horror-meets-espionage energy that makes this 2016 series such a fun corner of the Marvel universe.
