The Pulse #6

The Pulse was Marvel's street-level look at a world where super-powered beings make the front page, and issue #6 kicks off "Secret War Part 1" with a cover that captures that tension perfectly. Mike Mayhew stages the image as a newspaper whose headline — "Mutant Menace Exposed!!!" with commentary by J. Jonah Jameson — is literally being shredded by Wolverine's adamantium claws as he tears through the page, snarling directly at the reader. Brian Michael Bendis and Brent Anderson bring that same sharp energy inside, promising a story where the line between news and chaos gets very blurry.
