The Loners #3

Issue three of this six-part Marvel limited series delivers a cover by Jason Pearson that crackles with tension: a wild-haired, glowing-eyed figure with razor-sharp claws looms menacingly overhead, while two heroes below — one in a sleek dark costume with white armor accents, the other in a rounded grey suit — brace themselves for the confrontation ahead. The mechanical, gear-etched background adds an unsettling industrial atmosphere to the standoff. With C. B. Cebulski writing, Karl Moline on art, and Beth Sotelo's colors giving that striking pink-and-purple palette real punch, "What Lies Beneath" promises to dig deeper into whatever dangers these reluctant heroes are facing together.
