The Unbelievable Gwenpool #9

Things aren't going Gwenpool's way in this ninth issue — the cover finds her crouched on the floor in her pink-and-white suit, katana in hand but clearly at a disadvantage, while a laughing, casually dressed man looms triumphantly over her in what looks like a well-stocked study or library. David López's clean linework and warm interior lighting give the scene a darkly comedic edge that perfectly suits this series' irreverent tone. Writer Christopher Hastings and artist Gurihiru continue their run with López delivering a cover that balances genuine peril with the off-kilter humor that makes Gwenpool so entertaining.
