Guardians of the Galaxy #42

The 31st century's finest heroes collide with Evil Inhumans in this November 1993 installment, and the cover by Kevin West and Steve Montano captures the chaos beautifully — a dense, energetic mass of Guardians members including a fiery-haired warrior, a blue-skinned armored figure, a glowing energy-wielder, and several others surging forward in battle alongside some distinctly monstrous opponents. The banner promise of "The Conquest of Asgard!" adds a mythic dimension to an already packed cosmic confrontation. Michael Gallagher and Dale Eaglesham are steering this series through some seriously ambitious territory, making issue #42 a satisfying entry for anyone who loves their superhero adventures with a far-future twist.
