The Amazing Soldier-76
Do you play Overwatch just like the rest of the world? It's like a MMOBA, FPS and Fighting game rolled into one thing. Though some characters feel more like they were added because they thought they needed that particular trait than if they were any fun to play as or against. Still, it's a good game, constantly rebalanced and unbalanced, so it keeps things interesting.
This cover is homaging the first appearance of The Punisher, who was initially a Spider-Man villain who then surged in popularity during the 80s where comic books were gritty and violent for no reason and that's why some of the best stories from the era just haven't held up with time, with even their own authors disavowing them. Even so, The Punisher is an interesting character representing that era and some people have done great things with him and I am expecting his Netflix series now.
I thought about doing a Jongalli A. with Jolyne for this cover, but it just didn't feel right.
