Avengers Academy: Arcade - Death Game #[nn]

This 2011 Marvel digest puts the young heroes of Avengers Academy front and center, with a determined Spider-Woman-style figure in a black-and-gold costume surging forward alongside a flame-wrapped ally and a smaller costumed teen, while the looming presences of Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man fill the dark background. Ed McGuinness brings his signature bold, kinetic linework to a cover that crackles with energy, and Chris Sotomayor's colors make those flames and armor highlights genuinely pop. A solid showcase of Marvel's next generation squaring up alongside some of the biggest names in the game.
