Avengers Assemble #8

Thanos dominates the cover of Avengers Assemble #8, his Infinity Gauntlet crackling with raw power as he physically hurls the Hulk aside — a jaw-dropping display of brute force that makes clear just how outmatched Earth's Mightiest Heroes may be. Thor stands his ground in the background, hammer raised, facing down the Mad Titan amid a storm of fire and debris. Mark Bagley and Danny Miki deliver a cover that captures the sheer scale of this 2012 Marvel confrontation with confidence and kinetic energy.
