Thunderbolts #29

Part Three of "The Punisher vs. Thunderbolts" escalates the tension with a cover that puts the Punisher front and center — guns blazing, shell casings flying, face twisted in a battle cry — looming directly over a roaring Ghost Rider, whose flaming skull and chains fill the foreground in brilliant orange and gold. David Yardin's cover composition is a genuinely striking collision of two of Marvel's most relentless characters, rendered with real kinetic energy against a firestorm backdrop. Written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker with art by Kim Jacinto and colors by Israel Silva, this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! chapter promises the kind of brutal confrontation that the cover delivers so vividly.
