Soldier Zero #10

Rain-slicked and tense, Trevor Hairsine's cover for this 2011 BOOM! Studios issue places the armored Soldier Zero front and center, dual blades blazing with crimson energy while a dark-haired figure looms ominously behind him against a crumbling, storm-drenched backdrop. It's a striking image that carries real weight as the "Learning Curve" arc reaches its conclusion, with writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning alongside artist Javier Pina delivering what promises to be a pivotal chapter. If you've been following this Stan Lee–conceived series, issue #10 looks like exactly the right moment to see how the tension finally breaks.
