Rocket Raccoon #6

Rocket Raccoon finds himself in a genuinely precarious spot on this 2015 Marvel cover by Skottie Young — a tiny, defiant figure blazing away with his gun while sandwiched between the massive, fang-filled jaws of a monstrous creature above and a forest of jagged spikes below. The scale contrast is both thrilling and a little funny, which feels exactly right for a solo series built around Marvel's scrappiest space-faring raccoon. With Young writing and Jake Parker and Jean-François Beaulieu handling interior art, "Misfit Mechs" promises the same blend of humor and high-stakes chaos the cover so vividly suggests.
