Secret Avengers #5

From an overhead vantage point, a bloody crime-scene outline dominates the floor while Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and M.O.D.O.K. — plus a cast of smaller portrait bubbles hinting at a sprawling ensemble — survey the carnage in this 2014 Marvel title. The isometric composition by Walsh gives the whole scene a cool, almost procedural tension that sets Secret Avengers apart from the usual superhero fare. It's a sharp, stylish package that makes issue #5 genuinely hard to put back on the shelf.
