Morbius: The Living Vampire #8

This striking cover for issue #8 looms with quiet menace — a hooded, red-eyed Morbius dominates the composition, his imposing silhouette layered over a city streetscape where three figures in a tense standoff (two armed gunmen flanking a larger, hulking adversary) are rendered in stark white silhouette. The design is genuinely clever, using that urban backdrop and power-line geometry to suggest a world of danger lurking beneath the vampire's watchful gaze. With work from Keatinge, Elson, and Fabela, this 2013 Marvel series continues to offer a moody, street-level take on one of Marvel's most compelling antiheroes.
