Human Torch #5

The fifth chapter of "Burn" arrives with a cover that captures Johnny Storm in an unexpectedly street-level mood — leaning against a graffiti-marked brick wall in a leather jacket, one fist quietly ablaze with orange flame, his spiked blond hair the only other hint of the fire within. Skottie Young's pencils and Pierre-André Déry's inks give the scene a cool, moody attitude that feels miles away from the Fantastic Four's polished headquarters. Karl Kesel and Young's collaboration on this 2003 series continues to find fresh angles on Marvel's most combustible hero.
