Secret Warriors #5

Three figures in tactical black gear stride forward with quiet menace on Jim Cheung and Mark Morales's cover — a determined man at the center flanked by two younger operatives, one male and one female, all set against a hazy, war-worn backdrop. The composition carries the feel of a clandestine team bracing for something serious, rendered with the sharp linework Cheung and Morales bring to every page. If covert ops and high-stakes Marvel espionage are your thing, this 2011 collection delivers that atmosphere right from the cover.
