Thunderbolts #23

From writer Charles Soule, this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! installment finds the Thunderbolts in a precarious spot — literally. Julian Totino Tedesco's cover depicts the entire team — Deadpool, the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Elektra, Red Hulk, and a dark-haired figure — tangled together and bound by a dense web of black tendrils, suspended in an unsettling cocoon. It's a striking image that frames the team not as unstoppable forces but as something caught, compressed, and maybe at the mercy of whatever snared them.
