Captain America / Iron Man #5

The finale of this 2022 Marvel team-up series arrives with a cover by Alex Ross that makes the tension between its two stars feel almost tactile — Captain America stands shield in hand atop a ledge, eyes fixed on Iron Man as the armored Avenger hovers in the charged air ahead, repulsors blazing against a stormy blue sky. There's a quiet drama to the composition, two allies caught in a moment that feels equal parts partnership and confrontation. Derek Landy, Angel Unzueta, and Rachelle Rosenberg bring this limited series home in style.
