A-Next #2

The next generation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes faces its second challenge in this 1998 Marvel series, and the cover by Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding makes the stakes immediately clear — a green-and-white-costumed figure identified as Earth Sentry surges forward dramatically alongside a silver-helmeted companion, while the floating heads of a long-haired blonde hero and an armored warrior round out the team portrait against a vivid orange-red background. The cover copy teases "the menace of the space-born Kree," promising that this young squad will be tested by a deadly alien invader before the issue is through. Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz are building something genuinely fun here — a fresh roster carrying the Avengers legacy forward with plenty of energy to spare.
