A.X.E.: Avengers #1

Part of Marvel's 2022 A.X.E. crossover uniting the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals, this issue drops readers right into the thick of it with a striking Nic Klein cover: an unmasked Iron Man stands defiant in a frozen, icy landscape, repulsor blasts glowing at both hands, while massive alien or celestial tendrils loom ominously in the blue haze behind him. It's a vivid, confident image that sets a high-stakes tone, with Kieron Gillen writing and Federico Vicentini on art promising sharp character work amid the cosmic chaos.
