Marauders #26

Issue #26 of Marvel's Marauders delivers a cover that commands attention — Russell Dauterman frames a massive, reptilian creature dominating the foreground, its glowing red eye and flame-wreathed body filling the frame as a crystalline, ice-formed figure hurls a surge of glacial energy directly into the beast. High above, a sleek blue aquatic-looking figure arcs through the hazy sky, adding a third dynamic element to the confrontation. With Gerry Duggan writing, Matteo Lolli on art, and Rain Beredo's warm amber-and-blue color palette making every panel sing, "Many Happy Returns" looks like a thrilling chapter in Krakoa's ongoing saga.
