Taskmaster #3

Taskmaster plunges through murky underwater depths on this striking cover — skull-masked, sword in hand, pistol at the ready, with a shark circling in the blue-green gloom below. The "Watery Grave" story title perfectly matches the cover's tense, submerged atmosphere, promising no safe harbor for Marvel's master combatant. Issue three of this 2002 limited series, with cover art by Udon, makes a strong visual case for why Taskmaster remains one of Marvel's most versatile and dangerous figures.
