Avengers #16

The cover of Avengers #16 (May 1999) throws you right into the chaos, with Thor, Iron Man, and a fiery Captain Marvel clashing amid splintered wreckage against members of the Wrecking Crew — a wrecking ball swinging on its chain, green energy blasts flying, and a purple-helmeted villain bearing down mid-battle. Jerry Ordway handles both the writing and art here, and his cover crackles with kinetic energy, packing the frame with combatants without ever losing clarity. "Mistaken Identity" sounds like it'll add an intriguing wrinkle to all that brawling — a great pickup for fans of big, hard-hitting Avengers action.
