Magneto #3

Two figures locked in a crackling energy clash dominate this January 1997 cover — a caped, armored antagonist blasting a bolt of light directly into a straining, determined opponent who pushes back with raw force, all set against a fiery red backdrop that amplifies the ferocity of the moment. Kelley Jones and John Beatty bring a kinetic, almost savage energy to the composition, making "Battle for the Throne" feel like a genuine struggle for dominance rather than a simple superhero scuffle. Peter Milligan, Jorge González, and Kelley Jones were clearly firing on all cylinders with this third chapter of the series, and the cover alone makes "Kill Zone" a compelling reason to pick it up.
