Thunderbolts #152

Greg Land's cover for Thunderbolts #152 assembles the full roster in a sweeping, kinetic composition — Luke Cage dominates the foreground with a fierce, determined expression, while Juggernaut, Moonstone, Man-Thing, Ghost, and a white-haired energy-wielder fan out behind him in a rush of motion and color. It's a confident portrait of Marvel's most volatile team of reformed (or not-so-reformed) villains, rendered with real dynamism. Jeff Parker, Kev Walker, and Frank Martin bring this 2011 chapter to life, making issue #152 a fine entry point for anyone curious about what happens when the Raft's most dangerous inmates are handed a mission instead of a sentence.
