Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #46

Nick Fury bursts through a crumbling wall dual-wielding pistols on this 1993 cover, penciled by John Heebink and inked by Don Hudson — all business in his tactical gear and signature eyepatch. Below him, a fierce struggle unfolds as a blonde woman in green and the powerfully built Gideon of X-Force clash, with the banners promising Romulus in the mix and teasing "Fury Makes Three." "Revelations" looks to be exactly that kind of issue where everyone's agenda collides at once, and the cover earns every bit of its chaotic energy.
