Marauders #18

Fire and ice collide in spectacular fashion on Russell Dauterman's cover for Marauders #18, as a crystalline Iceman lunges toward a flame-wreathed figure tumbling helplessly below him, their clashing powers swirling into a dramatic spiral of orange fire and jagged blue ice. The elemental contrast is visually arresting — cool, spiked glacial constructs erupting across the background while warm fire engulfs the foreground in a satisfying yin-yang composition. With Gerry Duggan writing and the art team of Stefano Caselli, Matteo Lolli, and Edgar Delgado bringing "Saving Face" to life inside, this 2021 Krakoan-era chapter looks like a genuinely compelling mutant showdown.
