Guardians of the Galaxy #4

Tied into Marvel's Secret Invasion event, this 2008 installment of Guardians of the Galaxy delivers a cover by Clint Langley that commands immediate attention — a battle-hardened Skrull warrior in heavy armor stares down the viewer, massive gun in hand, while a blazing inferno of destruction erupts behind him. The chaos engulfing the background makes it clear the stakes for "Damages" are galactic in scale. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's cosmic team faces a universe where no one can be trusted, brought vividly to life by artist Paul Pelletier and inker Rick Magyar.
