J2 #7

Here's a cover that stops you cold: J2, son of the original Juggernaut, crouches center-stage in dramatically shrunken armor — the massive helmet now engulfing his diminished frame, baggy plaid pants pooling around boots that are suddenly way too big. The cover tagline "The Day Juggie Lost Nearly 1,000 Pounds!" says it all, promising a story as visually striking as Ron Lim and Al Milgrom's expressive cover work. Tom DeFalco's run on this 1999 Marvel series keeps finding fresh angles on legacy heroism, and this issue looks like a genuinely fun showcase for the title character's most vulnerable moment yet.
