Strikeforce #9

The full Strikeforce squad assembles on this 2020 cover in a tense, layered composition — Spider-Woman crouches in the foreground, Angela spreads her golden wings and raises her staff at center, and teammates including Winter Soldier (pistol drawn), Monica Rambeau (glowing eyes), Wiccan, Spectrum, and Blade fan out behind them with unmistakable purpose. Writer Tini Howard and artist R.B. Silva bring a charged, covert-ops energy to issue #9, with Guru-eFX's moody purple palette giving the whole team a battle-ready atmosphere. If you've been following this unconventional Marvel squad, this penultimate chapter of the series looks like a genuinely satisfying payoff.
