Marvel Comics Presents #158

In "Scare Tactics," a tense underwater standoff reaches a breaking point when Kymaera breaches the submarine's hatch, flooding the interior—yet chooses to prioritize saving the crew over pursuing Mother Matrix, who escapes in an emergency pod. Written and illustrated by Ed Lazellari, with inks by Joe Rosas and colors by Lazellari himself, this 1994 issue delivers a pulse-pounding moment of moral choice beneath the sea. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Alan Davis, Reggie Jones, and Mark Farmer, captures the chaos in striking detail.
