The Expendables #2

Three hardened operatives dominate this gritty Dynamite Entertainment cover — a massive bald figure looming large in the foreground, a second man training his pistol with cool precision in the middle ground, and a third figure firing from an elevated position amid smoke and chaos. The moody, painted atmosphere captures the no-nonsense tone of this action-heavy series perfectly. With Chuck Dixon scripting and Esteve Polls on art, issue #2 delivers the kind of tough, stripped-down mercenary storytelling that fans of the franchise will find right at home.
