Thunderstrike #3

The all-new Thunderstrike charges straight at the reader on this third installment of Marvel's 2011 limited series, mace raised and twin blades at the ready, sporting that unmistakable lightning-bolt hairdo — and daring you, with a wry speech bubble, not to make fun of it. Ron Frenz and Sal Buscema deliver a cover that crackles with kinetic energy, capturing a hero who's clearly all business despite the self-aware humor. With Tom DeFalco and Frenz steering the story into "And the Demi-God Decrees Death!", this penultimate chapter promises high stakes worthy of the name Thunderstrike.
