Thunderbolts #11

The cover of Thunderbolts #11 poses a tantalizing question right up front: "Can Bucky Barnes Change His Past?" — and the image makes that tension feel viscerally urgent. Winter Soldier crouches atop what appears to be a vintage WWII-era aircraft, his dark tactical gear and metal arm on full display, while Captain America tumbles through the air behind him against a bold halftone yellow-green backdrop. Jon Malin's kinetic linework gives the whole scene a propulsive, almost freefall energy that pulls you right into "Return of the Masters, Part Two: Chance of a Lifetime." Jim Zub and Malin have crafted a cover that blends wartime imagery with superhero spectacle in a way that makes this 2017 chapter of the Thunderbolts run genuinely hard to pass up.
