The Sentry #5

Against a stormy sky split by a bolt of lightning, this 2001 Marvel Knights issue assembles an impressive lineup on its cover — Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, and what appears to be a golden-age style hero alongside a flame-engulfed figure — all rendered with moody intensity by Jae Lee. The title, "The Betrayal," casts a dramatic shadow over these assembled heroes, hinting at fractures within a world that once celebrated the Sentry. Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's fifth chapter in this series continues to weave the mystery of Marvel's forgotten hero through an atmosphere of tension and unease.
