Avengers #31

Iron Man surges forward in his gleaming red-and-gold armor against a sweeping backdrop of what appears to be an otherworldly, organic alien landscape — it's a striking image that sets a suitably urgent tone for the "End Times" arc. Brandon Peterson's cover work captures Tony Stark's suit with impressive detail, from the glowing repulsor ports to the articulated gauntlets poised for action. With Brian Michael Bendis at the helm and the ominous "End Times" banner overhead, this 2012 chapter of The Avengers promises high stakes for Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
