Thunderbolts #23

The cover of Thunderbolts #23 promises high-stakes confrontation, with U.S. Agent charging toward the viewer in full patriotic fury while an armored green powerhouse looms overhead and members of the Jury — mechanized and bristling with weaponry — close in from behind. A smaller inset panel shows a shackled civilian figure watched over by an ominous masked presence, underscoring the cover's blunt promise that Mach-1 pays the price. Mark Bagley and Scott Hanna pack every inch of this 1999 cover with kinetic energy, making "Public Relations" feel like a collision course that's already in motion.
