Infinity Abyss #1

Jim Starlin and Al Milgrom open this six-part cosmic saga with a cover that pulls no punches: a snarling, gold-helmeted Thanos bursts from a screen bearing the warning "DOOMSDAY IS HERE!", his gauntleted hand reaching toward the viewer against a sea of deep red. A row of character portrait medallions — Spider-Man, Thanos, and several more familiar faces — lines the top of the cover, hinting at the broad cast assembled for the story ahead. If you've been waiting for a Starlin-driven Thanos epic, Infinity Abyss #1 announces itself with exactly the kind of ominous confidence the Mad Titan deserves.
