G.L.A. #2

The Great Lakes Avengers have a recruitment problem, and this cover captures it perfectly — a line of Marvel's heavy-hitters stretches into the background while a dejected GLA member in the foreground cups his hand to his face in resigned embarrassment as the answer to "Does anyone want to join the GLA?" comes back a resounding "NO!" Paul Pelletier and Rick Magyar pack the background crowd with recognizable figures including Spider-Man, the Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Black Cat, and what appears to be Sasquatch, making the rejection all the more sting. Part two of four in Dan Slott's comedic miniseries, "Dismembership Drive" promises exactly the kind of self-aware superhero humor that made this 2005 run so endearing.
