Thunderbolts #59

Part of Marvel's 2002 "Nuff Said" silent-issue event, Thunderbolts #59 arrives with a striking cover by Patrick Zircher and Al Vey that speaks volumes without a single word of dialogue. Dominating the image are a pair of enormous, vivid pink wings sweeping across nearly the entire cover, while a blue-and-yellow-costumed figure cradles a white-haired woman in what reads as a desperate, tender mid-air rescue. Fabian Nicieza, Mark Bagley, and Al Vey tackle the storytelling challenge of "Silent Scream" — a title that sets a quietly intense mood for whatever unfolds inside.
