New Avengers #20

Mike Deodato Jr.'s cover for New Avengers #20 makes a striking visual statement: a massive, glowing-eyed figure dominates the foreground, his helmet and snarling expression filling most of the frame, while reflected in his cranium is a ruined cityscape where Iron Man, Captain America, and Wolverine charge through the destruction. It's a composed, unsettling image that positions the New Avengers as small figures caught within someone else's overwhelming power. "The Collective Part Four" promises a high-stakes conclusion to this 2006 arc, written by Brian Michael Bendis with colors by Dave Stewart.
