Laura Kinney: Sabretooth #3

Part of Marvel's X-Men: Age of Revelation initiative, this third issue sets Laura Kinney — claws extended, yellow-and-black suit in motion — leaping through a dusty, rocky landscape to meet a massively built blue-armored figure who wields a sword and meets her mid-air. The clash between these two formidable combatants makes for a genuinely gripping cover, rendered with real energy by cover artist Elena Casagrande. With Erica Schultz writing and Valentina Pinti on interior art, this series continues to make a strong case for Laura as a force entirely her own.
