Avengers Prime #5

The grand finale of this 2011 Marvel limited series arrives with Alan Davis and Mark Farmer delivering a cover that practically bursts off the page — Iron Man, Thor, and Steve Rogers charge forward through a massive horde of monstrous enemies, weapons raised and battle-worn but clearly unbowed. Davis's sweeping composition gives each hero room to shine while conveying the sheer weight of an army bearing down on them, and Bendis's series-long examination of these three cornerstone Avengers finds its conclusion here. A satisfying capstone to a series that put Marvel's heavy hitters through the wringer.
