Star-Lord & Kitty Pryde #3

Part of Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars Battleworld event, this third issue of Star-Lord & Kitty Pryde delivers a cover that crackles with momentum — Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde are shown bursting upward from a crumbling, lava-streaked globe, ropes binding them together as Kitty's phasing claws glint nearby. Yasmine Putri's artwork gives the duo a kinetic, almost storybook energy that suits the offbeat charm of this unlikely Battleworld pairing perfectly. If you've been following this series, issue #3 looks like the tension — and the stakes — are about to get considerably more complicated.
