Thunderbolts: Widowmaker #[nn]

Two imposing figures dominate Francesco Mattina's cover — a bald, suited man in the foreground and a rugged, battle-worn figure just behind him, with a third armed operative visible in the misty background, setting a tone of cold, calculated menace. This 2010 Marvel trade collecting the Widowmaker storyline brings together writers Andy Diggle and Rick Remender with artists Miguel Sepulveda and Mahmud Asrar for a gritty chapter in the Thunderbolts' history. Mattina's painterly, atmospheric cover work makes this one hard to pass up on the shelf.
