Thunderbolts #53

A massive, rocky-skinned behemoth dominates this cover from Patrick Zircher and Al Vey, blue crystalline energy crackling across his stone fists as flames and debris erupt behind him — while a desperate, reaching hand emerges from the rubble below and a single word balloon cries out "Dad!" The title "The Parent Trap" promises that family ties are at the heart of this 2001 chapter, giving the Thunderbolts' world an unexpectedly personal edge. Fabian Nicieza's run continues to find new emotional territory within this team's complicated legacy, and this striking image makes a compelling case for picking it up.
