Marauders #2

Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost dominate this cover in matching formal attire — Shaw imposing in a dark double-breasted suit, Frost draped in feathered white and holding a cane — both clutching glasses of amber spirits as they survey a map table scattered with chess pieces, a round bomb, and a small ship. Russell Dauterman's cover artwork leans into the Hellfire Club's particular brand of dangerous elegance, all crimson wallpaper and candlelight glamour with the X-Men's Krakoan era humming beneath the surface. Gerry Duggan, Matteo Lolli, and Federico Blee deliver what promises to be a richly political chapter in this mutant high-seas saga.
