Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. #7

Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen's wildly irreverent Marvel series hits issue seven with a cover that splits its energy between two striking images: the full Nextwave squad silhouetted against a vivid yellow background behind police tape, and a cool, determined blonde woman framed by targeting reticles and twin gun barrels in the blue-toned lower panel. Immonen's design-forward cover work — bold, graphic, and dynamically divided — perfectly captures the series' blend of chaotic action and stylish attitude. If "Primer" is any indication, this team's troubles are far from over.
