Avengers Assemble #21

Tied into Marvel's 2014 "Inhumanity" crossover event, this issue of Avengers Assemble features a striking cover by Jorge Molina that plunges three women — Black Widow, a figure in sleek black tactical gear, and Spider-Woman tumbling inverted above them — through a swirling vortex of giant DNA double-helix structures. The imagery pulses with energy and genetic imagery perfectly suited to the Inhuman-tinged storyline unfolding in these pages. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Matteo Buffagni, with colors by Nolan Woodard, bring their characteristically sharp sensibility to a team dynamic that puts some of Marvel's most compelling women front and center.
