Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes #8

The grand finale of Joe Casey and Scott Kolins's eight-part limited series arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Scarlet Witch channels a burst of crackling energy overhead, while Captain America charges forward shield in hand, Hawkeye draws his bow at the ready, and Quicksilver streaks into the foreground in a blur of speed. It's a fitting send-off for a series that gathered Earth's Mightiest Heroes in one place, and Kolins's line work gives each character a kinetic urgency that makes the whole composition feel like a sprint to the finish line. If you've been following along since issue one, this 2005 closer is exactly the payoff the series has been building toward.
