Still guest staring most of the heroines in the Marvel Universe.Someone dies... Stock up on tissues.I know. You're still upset about issue 6. But stick with us for a status quo change so big we can't actually show you anything!Do not judge anyone's safety by this cover.
If I had to nitpick, I would have to say I find Slineys concept of pained expressions a bit skewed. Half the time Annabelle, in moments of fear, pain, or surprise, was just smiling.
