Maverick #2

Maverick's solo series hits its stride with issue #2, and Jim Cheung and Andrew Pepoy's cover delivers an immediately striking image: the armored Maverick stands dominant in gold and red, clutching a wild-haired, clawed figure — a scene that plays perfectly into the issue's tagline, "In the Arms of the Enemy!" The cover copy promises "everything you needed to know about Team-X," giving readers of Jorge González's "Truth and Consequences" plenty of intrigue to look forward to. A sharp, energetic chapter in this 1997 Marvel series that puts one of the X-Men universe's harder-edged operatives squarely in the spotlight.
