Moon Knight #14

Moon Knight stands battered and bloodied at the center of Arthur Suydam's atmospheric cover, clutching a skull while surrounded by grotesque undead figures clawing through a murky, fire-tinged hellscape — it's a striking image that sets a grimly visceral tone for "God and Country, Chapter One." The creative team of Mike Benson, Mark Texeira, and Dan Brown brings a dark, unflinching energy to Marvel's most psychologically complex street-level hero. If you've been following this 2008 run, issue #14 looks like it's about to push Marc Spector somewhere even darker.
