Thunderbolts #25

Ghost Rider's flaming skull blazes with furious red light as he braces against an enormous, fang-lined creature whose coiling, segmented body fills nearly the entire cover — it's a striking image that captures the raw, dangerous energy this team has always trafficked in. Charles Soule and Paco Diaz bring that tension to issue #25 of Marvel's All-New NOW! era, with Israel Silva's colors giving the monstrous flesh a visceral, unsettling warmth against Ghost Rider's dark leather jacket. Julian Totino Tedesco's cover art sets an ominous, large-scale tone that makes this milestone issue hard to pass up.
