Thunderbolts #26

A massive, wide-mouthed creature dominates this cover, its gaping maw revealing a swirling cosmic energy within — an unsettling image that sets a genuinely ominous tone for this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! chapter. Below it, the Red Hulk strains against binding cords alongside Deadpool, Elektra, and a figure holding a flaming skull, the whole team seemingly caught in something much larger than themselves. Paco Diaz's linework and Israel Silva's colors make this one of the more striking covers in the run, with Charles Soule's name promising the sharp, character-driven storytelling that defined his time on the title.
