Skrull Kill Krew #5

Part of Marvel's 2009 Dark Reign event, this fifth and final issue of Skrull Kill Krew closes out the series with the story "Slaughterhouse Five" — a title that promises exactly the kind of brutal, no-holds-barred confrontation the series has delivered throughout. Mario Alberti's cover sets a grim tone, depicting a massive, chained bull-like creature looming over a pile of battered, fallen figures — heroes and green-skinned Skrulls alike strewn across rocky ground in apparent defeat. It's a striking image that captures the chaotic, high-stakes energy this team of monster-hunters has been navigating since the first issue.
