Annihilation #4

Issue four of six in Marvel's Annihilation limited series arrives at a pivotal moment, and the Gabriele Dell'Otto cover sets the tension perfectly: a green-skinned warrior — his back to us, blades at his sides — stands face-to-face with an imposing purple-skinned figure clad in white and gold armor, whose cold, unwavering glare suggests he holds every advantage. The sheer scale difference between the two makes the confrontation feel genuinely dangerous, with the smaller figure's defiant stance carrying real weight. Keith Giffen's story "Revelation," brought to life by Andrea DiVito and colorist Laura Villari, promises the kind of cosmic confrontation that made this 2007 series one of Marvel's most compelling space epics.
