Marvel Zombies #4

Part of Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars Battleworld event, this penultimate issue delivers a cover that captures the series' desperate, claustrophobic tension perfectly. A young red-haired woman crouches in the foreground, seemingly bracing herself as a towering, masked zombie figure looms directly behind her, blade in hand — with a shambling horde of rotting undead pressing in from every direction. The work of Spurrier, Walker, and Guru e-FX gives the scene a vivid, unsettling energy that makes this corner of Battleworld feel genuinely threatening.
