Uncanny X-Force #6

Five silhouetted figures strike dynamic, weapon-ready poses against a blazing orange and white backdrop on this sleek Marvel NOW! cover — a striking design choice that conveys both unity and barely-contained menace. The team composition is wonderfully varied, with figures ranging from a stout, broad-shouldered brawler on the left to a long-haired central figure wielding twin blades, a caped flier, and a gunslinger at the far right. With Humphries, Alphona, Soy, Sotomayor, and Curiel all contributing to this 2013 series, Uncanny X-Force #6 looks like a team book firing on all cylinders.
