Guardians of the Galaxy #28

Part of Marvel's 1992 Infinity War crossover event, this issue of Guardians of the Galaxy promises chaos on a grand scale — and the cover by Joe Brozowski and Steve Montano delivers it vividly. Doc Ock's mechanical tentacles coil through the wreckage of Avengers Mansion as a fierce, dark-haired woman in yellow is ensnared, a green-clad figure recoils in shock, Captain America struggles to hold his ground, and a star-spangled cosmic figure looms in the background alongside several other combatants caught in the melee. With the cover blurb promising "Doc Ock Leads the Invasion of Avengers Mansion," this September 1992 issue looks like a wonderfully sprawling team-up/throwdown that fans of both the Guardians and classic Marvel villainy will want on their shelf.
