Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #10

The final chapter of "The Chaos Serpent" arrives in this 1990 Marvel spy thriller, with Nick Fury and Captain America charging shoulder-to-shoulder against an enormous, looming demonic figure whose horned visage dominates the blood-red background — energy blasts slashing across the scene as the two heroes push forward undeterred. Cover pencils by Keith Pollard and inks by Kim DeMulder give the image a gritty, kinetic weight that suits Fury's world perfectly. With D.G. Chichester writing and this being part four of four, it's a satisfying close to a story that clearly doesn't shy away from going big.
