Slingers #7

The 1999 Marvel series Slingers reaches its seventh issue with a cover that makes an immediate impression — a massive, snarling red-furred beast identified by the story title as the Griz dominates the image, looming over what appear to be members of the Slingers team scrambling below, with giant ants adding to the chaos. Cover pencils by ChrisCross and inks by Rob Stull give the creature a genuinely imposing, muscle-bound presence that fills nearly the entire frame. With writing by Joseph Harris and interior art by Greg Luzniak, this "Revenge of the Griz" chapter promises the kind of high-stakes superhero action that made this team book a fun corner of Marvel's late-'90s lineup.
