Thunderbolts #17

From the team behind one of Marvel's most compelling books of 1998, this issue of Marvel's Most Wanted: Thunderbolts presents a cover by Mark Bagley and Scott Hanna that absolutely commands attention. A silver-maned, caped figure in a dark costume dominates the foreground, his expression fierce as several Thunderbolts team members — a fiery blonde, a blue-suited woman, and others — are scattered and tumbling around him amid crumbling debris. The corner inset of a golden-armored female figure adds one more layer of visual intrigue, making "Matters of Gravity" feel like exactly the kind of high-stakes confrontation this series does so well under Kurt Busiek's pen.
