Thanos #9

Thanos #9 finds the Mad Titan in a desperate, visceral struggle — cover artist Mike Deodato Jr. renders him battered and low to the ground, nearly overwhelmed by a massive tide of armed warriors pressing in from every direction beneath a blazing, blinding light. The sheer scale of opposition surrounding Thanos makes this one of the most visually striking covers of the series, capturing a rare moment where the most feared figure in the cosmos looks genuinely outmatched. With Jeff Lemire writing and Germán Peralta on interior art, this 2017 Marvel series continues to push its title character into unexpectedly compelling territory.
