Marauders #17

Two figures tumble through a cascade of rain on Russell Dauterman's striking cover for Marauders #17 — Storm, her white hair flowing and pink energy crackling in her palm, locked in a tense mid-air struggle with a dark-clad opponent wielding a blade. The composition is wonderfully disorienting, the two combatants mirroring each other in a kind of violent symmetry that perfectly captures the storm-drenched tension of "The Winds of Change." With Gerry Duggan writing and Matteo Lolli on art with colors by Edgar Delgado, this 2021 issue looks to put Storm front and center in a way that fans of the weather goddess will find hard to resist.
