Thunderbolts #14

Tied into Marvel's 2013 Infinity crossover event, this issue of Thunderbolts sports a moody, atmospheric cover by Julian Totino Tedesco that sets a perfect scene: the Punisher, Deadpool, Elektra, Red Hulk, and Superior Spider-Man gathered in what looks like a dimly lit bar, looming over two unassuming civilians seated at a table — a quietly menacing tableau that captures just how dangerous this team really is. Charles Soule helms the writing with art by Jefte Palo, keeping the book grounded in that gritty, morally complicated corner of the Marvel Universe. If you like your superhero teams rough around the edges, this one delivers.
