Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. #5

The hypnotic yellow spiral background pulls you right into this unsettling cover by Brent Schoonover, where a heavily armed soldier struggles against a horrifying swarm of rotting, grasping undead creatures — all rendered in striking red-and-black S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms. Tumbling through the chaos above him is a female figure in a matching black-and-red suit, seemingly dragged down by the monstrous horde with clawing hands on all sides. Frank J. Barbiere's monster-squad series clearly isn't pulling any punches as it heads into its fifth issue, and with Nick Filardi's vivid color work amplifying every ghastly detail, this one demands a spot in your pull list.
