Avengers Unplugged #6

The cover of this August 1996 issue, rendered by Mike Deodato Jr., crackles with pink energy as Blood Wraith — wielding Proctor's sword — clashes against a cluster of Avengers including the Vision, Quicksilver, the Wasp, and Crystal, with the tagline promising he "seeks the soul of an Avenger." At just 99 cents, Avengers Unplugged #6 delivers a genuinely dramatic threat to Earth's Mightiest Heroes without skimping on the ensemble excitement. Glenn Herdling and M. C. Wyman's interior work gives this affordable series a punch well above its price point.
