Avengers #27

This oversized "100 Page Monster" edition of The Avengers #27 packs serious value into a single issue, with George Pérez's cover featuring Thor and Captain America front and center alongside a towering close-up of Iron Man, whose speech bubble pointedly declares it's time for an all-new lineup — and that two Avengers must go. A row of familiar faces lines the bottom of the cover, teasing the anthology of stories within, including "Five Dooms to Save Tomorrow," "The Day the Strangers Came," and "The Old Order Changeth." For fans of Marvel's Earth's Mightiest Heroes circa 2000, this is a satisfying package with Pérez's characteristically energetic linework making the tension on that cover immediately felt.
