Fear Itself: The Home Front #2

Part of the seven-issue Fear Itself tie-in anthology, this 2011 Marvel series brings the chaos of the event down to street level with "Scapegoat." Marko Djurdjević's cover pulls you right into the action — a massive, glowing-fisted dark figure looms over a green-costumed hero who stands their ground amid a storm of debris and fire. The tension radiating from that confrontation sets a compelling stage for Christos Gage, Mike Mayhew, and the rest of the creative team's grounded look at what happens when fear grips ordinary communities.
