New Avengers #20

New Avengers #20 promises the kind of sprawling, knock-down brawl its title delivers outright — "The New Avengers Versus the New Dark Avengers." Mike Deodato Jr.'s cover captures the chaos brilliantly, with Wolverine's claws front and center as he tears into a green-skinned bruiser, while Daredevil, Spider-Man, a civilian woman, and several other combatants clash in a fiery, rubble-strewn melee that fills every corner of the image. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with colors by Rain Beredo lending the scene a scorched, dramatic atmosphere, this 2012 issue looks like essential reading for fans who love their superhero conflicts loud and personal.
