Avengers #7

Part four of the "Live Kree or Die!" crossover arrives in this 1998 issue, and George Pérez's cover makes an immediate statement — Thor leads the charge hammer-raised while Captain America, Hawkeye, and a sprawling roster of Avengers clash against an army of armored Kree soldiers across a chaotic, space-tinged battlefield. The sheer density of figures Pérez packs into the image is a reminder of why his work on this title was so eagerly anticipated each month. Kurt Busiek and Pérez bring the four-part Kree saga to its conclusion, with the intriguing subtitle "The Court Martial of Carol Danvers" promising that the stakes extend well beyond the battlefield.
