Contest of Champions #2

Marvel's Contest of Champions #2 (2016) throws readers straight into the thick of an extraordinary clash, with a massive, green-skinned armored warrior dominating the cover as crackling energy surges around him — while a helmeted, axe-wielding fighter in skull-marked armor braces against the onslaught. Paco Medina's cover work crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the sheer scale difference between these two combatants and leaving little doubt that the stakes of this contest are enormous. Al Ewing's "What Is It Good For?" promises a series that takes its battles seriously, and this striking image makes a compelling case for jumping in at issue two.
