Avengers of the Wastelands #[nn]

Set against a scorched desert landscape crackling with lightning, this 2020 Marvel trade collection from writer Ed Brisson and artists Scharf and Menon brings together an unlikely trio of wasteland heroes — a battle-ready Hulk, a Thor wielding Mjolnir aloft in a green fist, and a crouching Ant-Man in full armor — standing defiant amid the ruins of a broken world. The cover art, rendered with kinetic energy by Juan José Ryp, captures the grim grandeur of a post-apocalyptic Marvel universe where new champions have risen to fill the void. If you're drawn to stories about hope clawing its way out of devastation, this one promises exactly the kind of hero's journey AIPT calls "perfect for those who enjoy surprises.
