New Avengers #15

Simone Bianchi's cover for New Avengers #15 commands attention with an eerie, otherworldly tableau — a silver-skinned woman with unsettling red eyes gazes out in the foreground, while two powerful, stone-textured figures bearing an Avengers symbol loom behind her amid a strange organic landscape. The haunting palette of yellowed haze and mottled grays gives the whole composition an alien, almost mythological weight. Jonathan Hickman's "See How the Swans Fly" promises the kind of cosmic unease this series has made its signature in 2014.
