Shanna, the She-Devil #5

Frank Cho's cover for issue five of this seven-part Marvel limited series places Shanna in a striking moonlit tableau — crouching atop what appears to be a massive creature, her wind-swept blonde hair framing an intense, alert expression, while a small dinosaur watches from one side and a dazed human figure lies pinned beneath her. The enormous full moon behind her and the scatter of startled birds overhead give the scene a primal, atmospheric weight that fits "The Killing Season Part Five" perfectly. With the series in its penultimate stretch, this cover makes a compelling case for how much tension Cho can pack into a single, beautifully rendered image.
