Avengers West Coast #96

Part of the 1993 Infinity Crusade crossover event, this issue of Avengers West Coast promises serious trouble under the banner headline "The Goddess Rules!" The cover by David Ross and Tim Dzon places a determined, blue-skinned figure front and center — fist raised, crackling energy at her side — while a surrounding crowd of heroes including Wonder Man, Captain America, the Scarlet Witch, and War Machine looks anything but at ease. Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, Andrew Currie, and Don Hudson deliver what this charged image suggests: a West Coast roster caught squarely in the grip of something far greater than themselves.
