Ultimate Fallout #3

With the bold tagline "Spider-Man No More" blazing across the top, this 2011 Marvel series continues its six-part story under the combined pens of Jonathan Hickman and Nick Spencer. Adam Kubert's cover art — pencils and inks both his own — presents a striking trio: a flame-wreathed Human Torch, a cloaked woman, and a silver, military-capped figure standing amid shattered, ice-like debris surrounding a burning X emblem. The image carries a real weight of consequence, and with interior art from Steve Kurth, Eric Nguyen, and Carlo Pagulayan, chapter three of six promises to be a compelling installment in this landmark Ultimate Universe event.
