Avengers West Coast #65

Part one of "The Reaper and the Robot" kicks off with a cover that means business: the ghoulish, cape-swirling Grim Reaper raises his deadly scythe weapon against a powerfully built opponent in blue and red, while a red-clad woman reacts in alarm behind them and scattered candles burn dramatically in the foreground. The speech bubble — "He's back from the grave — and ready to party!" — sets a delightfully ominous tone, and the cover command "Fear the Reaper!" leaves no doubt this villain is being positioned as a serious threat. Paul Ryan and Danny Bulanadi deliver a dynamic, hard-hitting composition that makes this 1990 installment of Avengers West Coast feel like a genuinely urgent chapter in the team's ongoing saga.
