A+X #18

A+X #18 pairs an X-Man and an Avenger in Marvel's team-up anthology format, and Kevin Nowlan's cover delivers a striking duo: Vision strides forward in his green-and-yellow costume with one hand raised commandingly, while a yellow-suited X-Man with flowing dark hair runs alongside him, a blue dragon-like creature lurking at their flank. The pairing promises some intriguing cross-team chemistry, and the issue's bonus feature spotlights Cap and Cyclops for even more Avengers-meets-X-Men action. With interior work by Jim Krueger and Will Sliney, colored by Andres Mossa, this 2014 entry in the series is a fun, compact showcase of Marvel's two most storied super-teams sharing the spotlight.
