A-Next #3

The next generation of Avengers collides head-on with the Original Defenders in this December 1998 clash, and the cover by Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding captures the chaos brilliantly — the Hulk looms massive on the left while Namor anchors the right, with an armored figure and a blond brawler caught in the thick of the melee, and a winged hero darting through the rubble-strewn background. As if a full-scale super-battle weren't enough of a draw, the cover teases the arrival of the mysterious Doc Magus, promising that Tom DeFalco and Frenz have even more surprises waiting inside.
